In this episode we're talking to DeWayne McMurry, widely known as “Steezus”, who has garnered a remarkable influence in the skateboarding, sneaker and streetwear communities over the years. Steezus has built a reputation as a trusted voice through digital content creation, utilizing his influential platforms to entertain and inspire his audience. He also advocates and raises awareness on the often-taboo topic of mental health, particularly from the perspective of a Black male in America. His expertise in content creation and social media strategy has made him a go-to resource and official brand partner for established brands like the NFL, Ghost Lifestyle, and Honest Skincare.
In Part 1 of our talk, we get curious about the importance of networking, why anyone trying to build a brand needs to be on Tik Tok, what it's like working out amongst celebrities, and much more. You'll also hear a funny story about how we met (spoiler: it was through a dating app lol).

What is Curiously Kristen?
On this show, we talk about lots of things. Personal development, behavioral psychology, business trends, leadership, adventure travel, spiritual practice, starting over somewhere new, taking risks, failing, getting back up and trying again. The subject matter is broad but the connecting fiber is deep. WE'RE EXPLORING OUR CURIOSITY. Without judgement. Without needing permission. Here, we'll learn, grow, and become our best selves - by leaning into the things we're curious about and letting that curiosity pave our path to purpose.
