Action Plan/Monthly Bullet Points

Every time we deliver one of these I want to include a different message each time.

Outside my crude self depreciation, my mind jumped to the Black Panther Party and how they handled the 10 Point Program.

Should we do something similar? Any suggestions would be helpful.

Mutual Aid & Charity.

There's a lot to share. A lot to talk about.

And, a lot of changes.

FINALLY, I CAN TALK ABOUT THIS.

OKAY.

This has been in the works for like... MONTHS.

I'm happy to announce that I'm starting a Free Huey Foodbank initiative. It'll be announced on the main channel shortly, however, I wanted you guys to be privy to this first.

The graphics above communicate essentially what the...

Co-Opting Black Movements.

Just something to get me back into the groove of editing videos.

The idea of Free Huey Flashcards is to talk about a specific thing, as opposed to framing it around a grander Free Huey type video.

New Video, Mutual Aid Plans, Previews

Long story short, I lost my job about a week ago and it's slowed down video production a little. Things are certainly looking up, but for the sake of my well-being I've been prioritising getting another job more than video production.

Which is a shame cause' the new Black Indie Artists vide...

The Boondocks | Projecting Reality

Almost a spiritual successor video to the Black Escapism one.

This video is more me lamenting my fascination with how The Boondocks is received now, compared to when it first dropped.

Thinking of trying to create/support a Free Breakfast Program.

I've been recently deliberately a lot on what I can do to use this platform responsibly, but also feeding into that desire of wanting to do right. And, I've slowly been coming to this conclusion that I want to be able to feed those in poverty in some way/shape/form.

Naturally it won't be ea...

Off The Record is Back | Preview

This time we're gonna be talking about black indie artists and their various projects.

I wanted to make a more focused project about their works, and some might look familiar. There's also gonna be a cool prize at the end of the video, so that's cool! 

Some cool assets being work...

Heyo! Patreon Updates & Suggestions.

Heyo, it's ST. Or Storyteller.

Today I decided to switch my patreon from Dollars to Pounds, because:

1) I'm from the UK.

And, 2) I noticed that like... a lot of people from America seem to have their ...

See The World.

A small video essay for my inner child.

A positive one though! And, of course, positivity is all that matters. Jokes aside, I really enjoyed working on this one.

Influence & Integrity.

I almost forgot to post this here.

My bad for slight inactivity recently. I've been working a little silently, but I promise to get louder in the next few. This is a more personal video that I've been meaning to make. I'll try to refrain from making such videos so much in the future lol. View Post

Black Escapism.

New drop.

You might have a strong idea of what I'm gonna say here, if you've checked out some of the recent posts here.

Too Much Black Trauma Media?

A lot, a lot, a lot to say on this topic.

This wasn't the intended next video admittedly, but with all the polls and impromptu videos and discussion I've been driving around it, it's kind of willed me towards the idea of making a proper video about the subject.

I don't want to reveal ...

Black Media is "Too Political?"

Small unscripted ramble type video. Lemme know if you guys don't mind these are inbetween buffer videos. Otherwise, I'll focus more on the main stuff.

Discord Invites.

Sent out a bunch of Discord invites which I'd been on a slight delay for sending.

If you missed an invite, and would like to join, just hit me up! I'll send one your way.

Generally trying to keep things neatly knit, cause' I like the community we've cultivated, so it's perfectly fine ...

OPERATION EXODUS | Conscious Branding

New Format for Operation Exodus.

It's easier to throw these out this way. Tell me what you think, or if you would prefer to go back to the visual format on the Second Channel.

"Conscious" Black Branding.

This is probably gonna be one of the next major videos. 

It just fascinates how far the spectrum of this concept sways, and how its, in many ways, been somewhat weaponised.

And, less in the "lol SJWs are really stupid" kind of way, and much more in the absurdity of what the categ...

Cancel Me.

This video has been something on my mind for the longest time.

I felt like this was the only time I could probably make it. If I made it at 100K, I feel like it would've been too far. But, before 50K and it feels too early to say. This feels like a sweet spot in which I can make this point ...

Some Assets (+ Unused Ones)

I wanted to do more with the video glitching out and have a borderline section where the video teeters off into that Jay Zish territory, but I strayed away from it cause' the video was already getting long.

[EARLY ACCESS] BLACK CAPITAL | FREE HUEY

I'm so used to YouTube flagging Free Huey videos that I've decided to practice patience and start properly giving you guys the content early regardless. This is the latest Free Huey episode, while YouTube fights to get my shit off the platform for no reason.

I maintain the opinion that the ...

VISUAL OVERHAUL.

Embracing some of the Off The Record & TWEWY influence with this Free Huey.

While the main colour scheme is still Orange, Black and White, I decided to help distinguish each section going for a different colour would be visually cool and help better make each segment stand out.  View Post

Graduation.

There's a lot going on in my head right now.

Black Grifters but it's Persona.

Sometimes, it's honestly just more fun to make points out of silly videos like this, instead of whole video essays. Not all the time, but it can be a fun way of expressing how I feel.

Trio Talk.

There was originally supposed to be a bunch of characters here. Like, Ninamori and Canti from FLCL. Mokuba and Jaden from Yu-Gi-Oh and retroactively Botan from Yu Yu Hakusho. But, it was all scrapped due to financial difficulties I had at the time.

The final shot came out well, but I still ...
