I remember seeing Pharrell when he was still a young and rising musician in Stockholm, Sweden. That was over 20 years ago and we as black men were happy to see him and had wished that he grow. Nice to see him grow and for him staying true to his calling.

[miggrodriguez]

I'm proudly hispanic and a whole lot of my community have been fans of Pharrell for years. What a humble and inspiring young man!

[bivensify]

I have a newfound Respect for Pharrell. Despite all the fortune and fame he has, he is concerned about those who dont. And doing all he can to help a lot of people.

More notarized black people interviews like this 🙌

I LOVE PHARRELL!! And literally always have. He is a genius, a creative, an intellectual AND a visionary. I’m so grateful for his work and his influence. 🙌🏾👏🏾🌍

“Galvanizing, sharing codes, supporting our businesses! Making our own buildings so we don’t have worry about who’s in office! “ Magnificent 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[ari.opalin]

Excelent interview. Im a clothing brand owner, DJ and producer from Mexico City that just moved to LA 6 months ago and yea there just isn’t as many opportunities as in the west. I would love to see every culture simply respect eachother and the arts

[EchoNomad-cz]

He's incredibly talented on so many levels while maintaining a humble and empathetic demeanor.

[wiseguyai]

That hit hard. Equality is acknowledgment of of justice and fairness. With Equity... you don't have to ask for anything, because it's yours.

[evandalistgaming]

This is Sage Mode Pharell. Weve so many levels of him and he never needed to fight to be relevant either, kept his circle tight and always had a good heart / good intentions. Someone with the conscious thought of humanity.

[theonlyReneice_Release]

First person I have heard actually be honest about how a black or brown person learns about entrepreneurship! Even the word, we don't learn until it's almost too late from lack of knowledge!

[MrRoyck]

Pharrell is very eloquent, refined gentleman with stupendous mannerism.

[Dada.kolawole]

I have always loved pharrel since I was a teenager now in my early 30s he still gives me a reason to look up to him.

[cool-j]

Humble to the core and very intelligent 🙏🏾

[danielhoward]

Fantastic interview. Got chills when Mr. Jabari Young mentioned the energy of his community in Philadelphia changing and elevating when P, Ab-Liva, and Clipse united. There's something beautiful and powerful about seeing your brothers and sisters up and letting you know "You can do it too young love."

[neshaaponte]

The more united Hispanic and Blacks get together the more unstoppable we can become ✊🏿👊

NOTE: I Must give MAD Respect to this "MAN" Pharrell Williams. For he is NONE of the Stereotype, one first thinks he belongs or Caters to.
His Mind Operates on a extraordinarily Prescient level.
Cheers.

[dillonhall]

We know where the profit is and who influences it. - well said Mr.Williams.

[lun]

Honestly felt like a Master Class session.

Wonderful ideas makes wonderful inventions for the future. Pharrell has his finger on a button that will excel African American entrepreneurs to new heights with his insight and wisdom. It's a good time to be an African American with a dream and ideas.
