Today brings with it the launch of the new YouTube Originals documentary series, ‘The Outsiders?’

Helmed by award-winning photographer and director Simon Frederick, the riveting special lifts the veil on the experiences of Black talent from across the globe and has a specific focus on their success against the odds in education, living predicaments, and more. 

The community congregated en masse this past weekend at the third annual Angela Yee Day, hosted in Brooklyn, New York.

Many artists took to the stage and local vendors were present as Brooklyn attended in person, after last year’s virtual event due to the global health crisis.

And giving back was the goal of the day.

Yee, who – along with her co-stars on ‘The Breakfast Club’ – serves as a cornerstone of the culture, cultivated a day that resonated in earnest.

For, the event celebrates her Caribbean and Brooklyn roots while supporting local businesses by way of providing information and access to financial literacy, education, and more. All while entertaining.

The outdoor extravaganza (which was presented by iHeartMedia) fused music, food, and live performances from the likes of Adrian Marcel, Noah Powa, HoodCelebrityy, Romain Virgo,  Erick the Architect, and Alison Hinds.

Head below for clips, as well our exclusive chat with Yee, as well as Marcel and Powa…
