“There are many aspects I’m excited about, from joining the illustrious Black Enterprise family, to telling the stories of top news makers, business leaders and humanitarians in the world,” said Brunson. “That said, what tops the list for me is becoming an ambassador for a brand launched by a man who has been a mentor (in my head) for decades (Mr. Earl G. Graves, Sr.).”
With the mission to provide insights on the power players in entertainment, business, politics and culture as it pertains to African Americans, Brunson says that Our World will bring a community aspect to viewer households, while also filling a massive void in television.
“The term ‘our’ makes it all relative, whether it is our community, our industry, our profession, etc. I think about the stories and underlying ideas from the many cross sections of our life,” expressed Brunson.
