🚨🚨 Guest Announcement 🚨 🚨🚨

Deston “D.J.” Munden is a fantasy and science fiction author, living near the Outerbanks of North Carolina. Somewhere in the vague realm of his thirties, he lives with his brother in a small house in the woods where he taught himself how to imagine and write down worlds with orcs, swords, and magic (and sometimes mutants and spaceships).

When he’s not writing, he’s playing video games with his best buds, rolling horribly on multisided dice, eating double his weight in food, trying out new recipes, collecting samurai memorabilia and watching as much anime and reading as much manga as humanly possible (sometimes doing more than one of these things at once).

🚨🚨🚨 Guest Announcement 🚨 🚨🚨

🗣 Cousin's Back

George “Conscious” Lee is a dynamic orator, innovator, educator, and influential content creator whose work sits at the intersection of media, socio-political issues, and popular culture. Purposefully provocative, he uses this approach to educate on topics like oppression and intersectionality, translating complex ideas for audiences from Gen Z to Baby Boomers. He believes transformation starts with consciousness, using dialogue to uncover what needs change.

Born in Bryan, Texas, Lee overcame childhood adversity to graduate from the University of Oklahoma with a Bachelor’s and two Master’s degrees. He made history as part of the first African-American duo to become the number-one seed at the National Debate Tournament, innovatively using hip-hop in arguments. Lee’s blend of academic expertise and cultural mastery fuels his impactful work through his podcasts, public lectures, keynotes and workshops. Lee believes: You cannot change what you don’t know needs to be changed. His work aids people in uncovering what needs to be changed and equips them with the tools on how to change. The starting point is “consciousness.” His style provokes dialogue and conflict meant to inspire transformation. Lee has developed a brand of educational entertainment that translates an understanding of oppression, consciousness, intersectionality, and gender identity to both the TikTok generation and baby Boomers alike..

With over 5 million dedicated followers, Lee’s influence is globally recognized. He is a two time NAACP Image Award Nominee, recipient of YouTube’s Content Creator Choice Award, an International Webby Award Nominee and a grantee of YouTube’s Black Voices Fund. His insights have been featured in major publications from Rolling Stone and Forbes to The New York Times and Business Insider.
