Show notes
In a summer-themed FYM Show episode during Black Music Month, Ty and Yo discuss why they love the season and Ty’s upcoming work trip to Cannes Lions in France, including golfing afterward. Yo reacts to a moving, well-written essay Ty shared about a 16-year-old Black scholarship student at a $60K-a-year private school who feels “included but not invited,” comparing his experience to The Great Gatsby. Ty explains he received the essay through Put Me In, an organization supporting kids with incarcerated parents, and he invited the student, Rodney, to join his Cannes trip as a week-long intern and travel companion, building an itinerary through Nice, Cannes, Saint-Tropez, and golf resorts. They connect the essay’s themes to class, race, and opportunity, discuss a “Kids Overseas” program idea, and reflect on Black music as hit-making and “passage,” ending with summer plans and an Essence Festival panel on rap lyrics used in prosecutions.
