My Home is Special

Ever been out-negotiated by your own kid? In this Father's Day-inspired solo episode, Keith shares a hilarious and heartwarming story from over a decade ago, when his oldest son used corporate-style tactics to plead for a new video game. What started as a funny parenting moment turned out to be a glimpse of a budding skillset that’s now shaping his son's career. If you're a parent, you'll definitely relate—and laugh!

This week, I’m talking with Rahamaan Statik—an artist whose work I’ve admired long before we ever met. Though we've only crossed paths in person a couple times, he welcomed me into his world to talk about a home that's anything but traditional: the Wall. From classical fine art training to projects that cover massive graffiti walls, Statik's story bridges street and studio in a way that’s uniquely powerful. What does it mean to call a wall home? You’ll want to hear this one. Please visit www.MyHomeIsSpecial.com [http://www.myhomeisspecial.com/] for the full project and follow @KBevPhoto on Instagram to see what I'm up to.

This week’s mini-episode is a story I told a while back about being a Black college student in Boston—a city that, at the time, had a reputation. And yeah... my first experiences definitely lived up to it. But then something unexpected happened, and taught me a lesson. This one’s about assumptions, surprises, and learning not to jump to conclusions.

This week’s guest is the incomparable Lily Be—storyteller, teacher, host, and all-around powerhouse. I’ve known Lily for years, and every time I see her on the mic, I’m blown away by how she commands a room. The best part? You never know what kind of story she’s going to tell. In this episode, we dig into what keeps her coming back to the stage and why storytelling means so much to her.
