Geniuses Need Love Too
The Brilliance Of Donald Glover's Childish Antics
Written By: Ziggiy
"The potential of Black Genius lies within the interest, and inevitably the talents, we all have within us. The potential and capacity to achieve Black Genius grows when that interest is cultivated into skills. Black Genius is realized and achieved in those spectacular moments when we collectively utilize our talents and skills to disrupt and dismantle institutional systems of oppression. Black Genius is realized when we collectively imagine and construct new systems based on the values of equity and justice for all. Black Genius is within us all, but can only be realized when we recognize it in each other. Even more, Black Genius is ours to deepen, to understand, and to leverage to create a better tomorrow."
-William P. Jackson
Donald Glover is the quintessential genius of our generation. Screenwriter, actor, rapper, producer, director, star. He is all of them and none of them, a singular force of creativity bound only by the limits of his vast imagination. After cutting his teeth as a writer on Tina Fey's 30 Rock, Glover would go onto to Star on NBC's cult classic sitcom Community. He would also simultaneously write and star in his own standup specials, as well as release Hip Hop music under the moniker of Childish Gambino. A name he infamously picked up from a Wu-Tang Clan name generator. He would go onto release two proper studio albums (2011's Camp and 2013's Because The Internet) as well as several well received mixtapes (including the phenomenal STN MTN/Kauai double project) gaining both fans and steady acclaim with every release. Not being one to rest on his laurels, Childish Gambino returned at the latter end of the summer with his Pharos event.
