Black Lives Matter — with Frederick Joseph

Meet Frederick Joseph.

Frederick is an award-winning marketing professional, media representation advocate, and author of the New York Times best-seller The Black Friend.

Fred is a Forbes Under 30 list maker; was a national surrogate for the Elizabeth Warren campaign; and was the sole creator of the largest GoFundMe campaign in history — the #BlackPantherChallenge — which ultimately raised more than USD950,000 and allowed more than 75,000 children worldwide to see the movie Black Panther for free.

Yet more than this, Frederick has so importantly been on the frontlines of the Black Lives Matter movement and protests in New York City these past weeks, where he has been tirelessly demanding for justice for all black lives.

On this episode of GAF Is The New Black, Frederick and host, Jo Lorenz, talk about the Black Lives Matter movement, about social justice and about the perilous realities of cultures of entitlement.
