Speaker 1 (00:00):
The following is a paid commercial by Black Girls Sunscreen.
The fuse expressed are those of the sponsor and not
iHeartMedia or this station. Welcome to Shamelessly Chante with your
host Chante Lundy.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Good morning. You're listening to Shamelessly Chante and I'm your host,
Chantay Lundy. So y'all, today I want to talk about
eating and now laugh because I am such a plane eater.
Over time, it has still not developed from when I
was a young person. So I don't eat any white
(00:43):
sauces like you know, mayonnaise, or like tiki sauce or
like a cottage cheese. I eat the same foods in
the same cities from the same restaurants because I like
consistency and familiality.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
You don't want to be disappointed.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
No, no, and I want to be full when I
eat anything new that I eat, and this TMI does
not agree with my stomach. Yes, even home cooked meals.
I have to get used to a person's hand and
just how they're you know, preparing something. Today we're going
to be talking to someone that is an expert in
(01:22):
the kitchen, but also an expert in many other things.
And I think with just how the world has progressed
with social media. It's like you got to show off
your talent and and that that's what you know he's done.
I'd be kind of curious to taste his food me too, right, yeah,
ask him to bring us a.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
Plate, you know what. I was going to ask him
why he didn't when I saw him in the green room,
like where's the food?
Speaker 2 (01:48):
So right?
Speaker 3 (01:49):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Okay. So at Black Girl's Sunscreen, we actually provide lunch
every single day to the team, and everyone has such
different eating habits and preferences and things like that. But besides,
you know, lunch, what else is going on ab like groc.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
Well, I just want to shout out the product that
really started it all for us in twenty sixteen, the
OG and that's our BGS thirty. So, I mean, it
really is the product that I think started the discussion
around the importance of black people, people of color wearing
sunscreen and wearing a sunscreen that did not leave a
(02:32):
white cast. So literally groundbreaking and like I said, shattered
those myths. And the reason why it's so amazing is
because it's so moisturizing, hydrating melts into the skin. Chantey
is showing you that it's packed with alo and sunflower
seed oil, carrot seed oil, avocado oil, jjoba oil, cacao butter.
(02:54):
I mean, it's just it's incredibly moisturizing to the skin,
and it continues to be our number one top selling
item for a reason. I mean, people love it. They
use it every single day. I know I do, and
we continue to gain distribution. So Kroger, I'm so excited
to announce, is one of our newest retail partners, so
(03:15):
you can get it there nationwide.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Yeah, listen, she's what started at all. I call her
our Queen. The team calls our Queen because that's exactly
who she is to us. I just put it on
and it rubbed in sheer. It doubles as a moisturizer,
so you can use it as SBF, an hydrating agent
for your skin. There's so much that could be set
could be said about Black Girl's Sunscreen, just how she
(03:40):
has paved the way in a space that didn't exist
before Black Girl's Sunscreen. And let me roll that back
for a second. Brown and black people have not been
part of the conversation ever. Ever, never, we've enabled companies
to now speak to the demographic of black and brown
people on some safety. So that's just something that you
(04:03):
can't ignore that Black Girl Sunscreen has done, and we
did it with with one product. The cool part is
that you know she's created an entire family. Yes, right, this,
this is what we do. That's right, what we do.
So hop on down to Kroger. Kroger is also Ralph
and and phrase, so you can find Black Girl subscreen
(04:25):
and fries as well as Kroger's and go ahead to
take it off the shelf because that's how we exist.
That's right. Okay, listening to the same.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
All right.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
If you want to protect your skin, cry, make sure
you get some Black girls sign scram black girl ur

Speaker 5 (04:43):

you want to protect your skin, cry, make sure you
get some.
Speaker 5 (04:56):

Speaker 3 (05:04):
Kimberly sitting next to us, Okay, So our next guest
is a creative force who uses his diverse talents as
an actor, author, playwright, and motivational speaker to spark meaningful
dialogue and inspire intentional living. He's the creator of Transparency,
a powerful live stage production that explores emotional vulnerability and
(05:26):
modern relationships, and the voice behind the philosophy of intentional consumption,
which challenges audiences to be mindful of the media, conversations
and energies they take in. Known for blending culinary artistry
with impactful narratives, please welcome Kwan Bevans Junior, or better
(05:48):
known as Chef Beans.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
To the showy Yeah, chef, what you eat for breakfast today?
Speaker 5 (05:58):
So today?
Speaker 6 (05:59):
Actually, Danny, well it's just seamos, just sea moost this morning,
do you I?
Speaker 2 (06:06):
Okay? So Kwan is your government name?
Speaker 5 (06:09):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Okay? How did if Kwan's your government name spelled? Also
very uniquely?
Speaker 6 (06:17):
The eyes what throws a lot of people off people, queen, Yep,
I've been getting that my whole life.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Okay, you thank your mother for that or you cursor
for that, not curser.
Speaker 6 (06:26):
But you know, so I'm a junior, so I would
have to go to my grandmother. But I mean, I
guess the eye is what makes me an individual, so
I take it.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Okay. So how did Chef Beans come about?
Speaker 6 (06:38):
So in high school, some of my friends just started
calling me q Beans, my last name being Bevans sometimes
people say Q Bevans. I don't know where they started
calling me Q beans and being a part of a fraternity.
One day I was going to a cookout and one
of my five brothers just gave me a chef hat
because I didn't have any other paraphernilia. So I after
I put that chef hat on, people just started calling
(06:58):
me chef beans. And I maintained that nickname just because
I used it as a metaphor, not only for the
things that I was learning to do in the kitchen,
but also for the things that I cook up creatively.
Speaker 5 (07:10):
So I just made it make sense.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
And now talk to us about intentional consumption.
Speaker 5 (07:15):
Yes, what does that mean?
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Because we hear all through your content.
Speaker 6 (07:18):
Yeah, So what intentional consumption was for me? Well, when
I birthed it, it came around the time, I want
to say, twenty fourteen twenty fifteen, when we kept seeing
a lot of police brutality being shown on social media
and my spirit responding to it in a negative way.
It inspired me to want to create content that does
the reverse effect on people, Like, how can I create
(07:39):
content that people consume that actually lifts them up? And
that's what motivated me to want to start posting motivational
videos or just showing them different practices of being intentional. Again,
not just what you physically consume, but the content you consume,
the conversation you have, and the energy you jest. And
I just continuously watered that until now it's sprouted to
a brand that being supported worldwide.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
Chef, I mean, so you are a storyteller, So what
made you kind of combine the world of storytelling with
the culinary influence? Like what brought that together?
Speaker 6 (08:14):
Yeah, So my introduction to the kitchen goes all the
way back to childhood, and I guess it wasn't necessarily
an introduction. Every time I would try to go in
the kitchen and my family or parents were like, don't
let him touch anything. He's heavy handed. I would break
pots and pants and different things like that. Right, Like
a lot of you, I kind of wasn't really allowed
(08:36):
to really get busy in the kitchen until I got older.
I started working in different restaurants and I'm like, oh,
this is a real thing. No, but it's not until
I learned about you know, medium heat, slow simmer that no,
you actually got to control the fire. So when it
comes to storytelling. I know specifically in first grade, my
first grade teacher brought in a storyteller for us and
(08:57):
we had to close our eyes, said Chris cross Apples,
and I remember just hearing like the rain sticks. We
went through like a safari or something. Okay, I remember
hearing the rain sticks. So we had to like tap
our thighs when the lion was chasing us and things
like that. So that was my introduction to my imagination
and I realized I can transmute my thoughts into like
physical things, and I just continuously watered that in most
(09:20):
areas of my life.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
Well, so you've you know, you've been in front of
the camera, So you appeared on shows like this is Us, right,
and you've done some ted talks. Yeah, with three steps
to ace your next conversation. So two part question here.
So I'm curious, how has your background in the kitchen
really influenced the way you approach TV, film media as
(09:45):
a storyteller.
Speaker 6 (09:47):
Yes, so my background in the kitchen that was not
the introduction to Chef Bean's. I've always been interested in
the kitchen. I've managed restaurants, cooked at different restaurants. But
it helped me better with like color orinary metaphors. For example,
it's something called like mesa implies, which is everything in
this place, like if the yams go here, or the
rights goes here, or the season and go here goes here.
(10:09):
Make sure you put it there so everyone knows where
it's at. And I apply that to how I stay
organized in my house. I apply to how I stay
organized the other fastest of my life. And it influences
it because the kitchen, I feel like, I feel like
that's where you can learn a lot of soft skills.
That's where you learn a lot because everything has to
be communicated. It just helps me with my specificity when
I'm operating at everything else that I do, I have
(10:32):
to maintain a certain level of efficacy to make sure
that I'm accomplishing whatever it is that I desire. So
it inspires all of that. And I think the second
part of the question with something like how it influences or.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
Yeah, your approach to the media to TV just transparency.
Speaker 6 (10:50):
And I also noticed my play is called transparency. I
noticed you had transparency and integrity on your website, so
I already feel like we parallel prepared for this. Listen, Listen, Listen,
your integrity and transparency on there. So that's how I
approach life. I like straight lines. I don't like too
many surprises. Here's what it is, here's who I am,
and I like that in return. Even though I don't
(11:11):
always get that in return, I like it. So I'm
always looking at certain entertainment and things with a fine cole.
And I forget the quote, what is it like taking
the meat, spin out the bones or something like that.
Speaker 5 (11:22):
I just can't.
Speaker 6 (11:23):
I'm just always intentional with the things I consume and
the things that I choose to take away from them.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
So do you think jams and rice go together?
Speaker 5 (11:30):
No?
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Oh, okay, No, I just wanted to be clear on No.
Speaker 5 (11:35):
I was just name friendom examples.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
But I know that, But now I needed to understand
who you were just a little bit.
Speaker 5 (11:40):
No, Yams are right, that's not my style.
Speaker 4 (11:45):
If you want to protect your skin, crime, make sure
you get some black girls side screen ys. Just put
it on your black girls side screen, all right, black
don't black people get sunburned too? As my cousin, you
want to protect your skin, make sure you get some
(12:07):
black girls side screen your just put on your Black girls.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
Chef about your fraternity life.
Speaker 5 (12:17):
Okay, what do you want to know? What do you
want to know?
Speaker 2 (12:21):
How's that really shaped you into? You know? Because once
you said it, I was like I could see that.
Speaker 5 (12:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (12:27):
So what I would say is going to college, there
was a lot of different groups, and being a person
who played sports in high school who didn't play sports
in college. Through my moniscus, I always lean towards community.
So my older cousins who just transferred from Lincoln University,
they were already joining the fraternity, so they introduced me
(12:49):
to it, and it just helped me with like.
Speaker 5 (12:52):
How would I say. I would see these.
Speaker 6 (12:54):
Men go from partying to then the next day being
in like a shirt and tie, and I just like
that level of like that switch. So leaning more into
it and just noticing how they can go from partying
to also being in class and taking care of their
grades in the library.
Speaker 5 (13:08):
That's what helped me just.
Speaker 6 (13:11):
Gain confidence inside outside of the classroom as a black man.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Did you see the most recent comment from Chuck on
NBA talking about how do us in fraternity? He was
really trying to rank on shag I was like, anybody
in the fraternity is a chunk.
Speaker 6 (13:28):
I didn't see it, But I mean, we get stuff
like that all the time. But it's kind of like
if you know, you know, we're just collectively he.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Said, it's abs He said, y'all don't do nothing for
the community, which is which is what said. I'm just
telling you.
Speaker 6 (13:43):
I know, I know what he says, and I know
what people say. But at the end of the day,
we know the impact that we make on others. We
know the all the philanthropic things that we do. So
a lot of times we don't really entertain our conversations
as goats with sheet.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
So you o, now you want to you want to REPHO.
I don't see the colors on.
Speaker 6 (14:05):
Well I'm in Omaka so far, okay, yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
Right, So I'm curious, would you say that you are
at times a bit of a risk taker? And if
you are every day, what if okay, great, so risks
that you have taken that have served you well, that
you really learned something from.
Speaker 6 (14:23):
One of my biggest risks that I can think of
is moving to Los Angeles without a job and a
place to stay.
Speaker 5 (14:29):
That's that's the biggest risk I took.
Speaker 6 (14:31):
I have an education background, so I've worked all throughout
K through twelve and higher ed, but me wanting to
read teacher. I was, I was teaching, I was. I
was in reds life in college, working there at the
r r D R A n r D not you
snitching a No, I was the cool one though, I was.
I was the cool one though. So again I wanted
(14:52):
to water this chef bean's thing, and I just continuously
watered it. Came up with a slogan intentional consumption. Soon
came the brand and be intentional, and I just kept
leaning into it. But that was one of my biggest
risks because again it wasn't guaranteed, but I know I
wanted to live a life full of inexplainable joy as
opposed to just doing things and make my parents and
people around me happy. I had to lean into what
(15:14):
made sense to me.
Speaker 5 (15:15):
Paid off absolutely. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (15:18):
Okay, so you I'm curious creatives, young creatives coming up.
Is there any advice that you would give them, and
you know, just staying to themselves.
Speaker 6 (15:32):
Yes, the advice that I would give them is, don't
focus too much on who's not supporting you.
Speaker 5 (15:38):
Focus on who is supporting you.
Speaker 6 (15:41):
A lot of times people don't do things because they
feel like the people around them aren't supporting them. But
you have to believe in to yourself and be willing
to invest into yourself. When I moved out here, I
was down to like my last one hundred dollars and
it was this restaurant booth that I saw on Facebook
market place. So again, I'm trying to bring this chef
beans thinged to life. It was on Facebook marketplace for
(16:02):
like forty dollars. I spent like another thirty dollars to
get a U haul and then the last thirty dollars
to put gas in the take after using the U haul,
and I'm like, I got this booth and I'm going
to take this booth around the world with me. And
that's been the same booth that I've used throughout every
season of my show, most of my plays out here.
We just got back from Atlanta, now selling out LA,
going to do Houston next. But again, like, you have
(16:23):
to be willing to invest into yourself even if the
people around you don't, because you will find your tribe,
you will find your community, and everything will work out
the way that it's supposed to.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Well, if you spent your last hundred dollars and how'd
you get everything else.
Speaker 6 (16:36):
Just grind it, like I got everything else from grinding.
Living not too far from the fashion district, have access
to the shirts and things like that, and my dad
bought me a heat press. It takes maybe three dollars
four dollars to make a shirt. You sell it for
more than that, you take the profit, double down on it,
and compound progression.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
So where I was going with that is because you
know similar story, right, you're taking it all, but there
still are people around you that supports you. And I
just heard you say your dad brought absolutely was that
was significant, absolutely process.
Speaker 6 (17:10):
Very significant, very significant.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
So I heard you say that you were on our website.
Thank you for checking it out and just being prepared
on who you're talking to. Absolutely so uh pre pre
just having this conversation. What has been your relationship with
sunscreen and do you wear sunscream while you're barbecuing?
Speaker 6 (17:29):
I have actually never used sunscreen. Okay, I've never used sunscreen.
But it's interesting because, like you said, I was doing
a deep dive on the website and I'm watching the
different things that you guys specialize in and the common
trope that we hear, especially black people, don't need sunscreen.
Black people don't need sunscreen. But when I think about it,
there's been mad times, whether I was grilling or at
the beach, I'll just look over at my shoulder and
(17:51):
it's super flaky.
Speaker 5 (17:53):
Am my own fire right now?
Speaker 6 (17:55):
So, I mean, I appreciate you all for just having
confidence in the these bottles in jars and just being
able to share them with the world, because your website
introduced me actually to want to use sunscreen. Because again,
I've been a person I don't need subscreen, like I
don't I'm black out. What I need subscreen for?
Speaker 2 (18:13):
Is that what you were taught?
Speaker 6 (18:15):
That's what I heard, That's what I'm sure that's what
I was taught, even if it was indirectly.
Speaker 5 (18:20):
But you are so you.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
I mean, it's okay, you weren't anything, right.
Speaker 6 (18:24):
Yeah, So just going off of like things that you
hear and it's like, oh, I guess I don't need it.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
You didn't think it was for you. Yeah, I hear
you on that. Okay, So we're gonna give you some sunscreen.
They want you to wear it all summer, yeah, and
even not in the summer, but we got something particularly
for you.
Speaker 5 (18:41):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
All right, So We're gonna play a fun game. Yeah, ready,
you're going to eat up?
Speaker 5 (18:45):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (18:46):
Okay, all right, chef. So we call this game yeah
or no. So I might say a word or phrase
and you just respond yeah or like really fun and
it's gonna be kind of a round robin. So will
start with you and then chantage and I'll give you
my answer. Okay, all right, So the first one post
(19:07):
her hands apartment, but never her face.
Speaker 7 (19:14):
Yeah, I have to make sure understand it.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
Okay, you don't even know where to look right now?
Speaker 2 (19:31):
Okay, I'm up.
Speaker 5 (19:32):
I feel like mister crabs mean.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
You want to give us an explanation or should we
just keep it moving?
Speaker 5 (19:40):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (19:40):
Okay, yeah, yeah, okay, sends thinking of you just to
keep your roster warm.
Speaker 5 (19:54):
Hold up the process the question, like you.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
Know you'll text her I'm thinking.
Speaker 6 (20:00):
Of you to keep the roster warm.
Speaker 5 (20:03):
Nah.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
In my younger days, maybe no, but not no.
Speaker 3 (20:10):
No, Okay, turned down brand deals because you want to
be selective, but it's really about the rate. You say
you want to be selective, but it's about the rate.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
Nah yeah nah, no, no show.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
Answer. Okay, I'm not okay, I've judged someone based on
how they season their food. Yeah, okay, says actor, but

Speaker 3 (21:09):
Okay, cooking is a form of therapy.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
I don't cook nothing. I don't cook either.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
Okay, while interviewing someone, you are wearing a tank top,
but it's really a thirst trap.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 5 (21:33):
No, this is hilarious.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
Listen, these are questions tailored to you.
Speaker 5 (21:42):
No, okay, mm hmm.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
I always think I'm not thirst trapping, but people have
told me I'm thirst trapping. So it could be like, okay,
maybe you're active beef but wearing a bathing suit, which
is appropriate for the beach you. Okay, yes, so I
don't feel like it's first trapping, but people say, oh
you look at you.
Speaker 3 (22:06):
You're dressing accordingly as far as I'm concerned. So I
miss you on that.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
Okay, but don't you shake your head. I said, why
you're interviewing someone, you gotta tak tap answer.

Yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
Have you been in love at first sight?
Speaker 5 (23:11):
I don't think so.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
Okay, but you think it can happen for other people.
Speaker 5 (23:17):
I think it happened for anybody.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
Yeah that's nice. Oh no, it's a weird concept for me.
Love at first sight. You look at Kimberly and I'm like,

Speaker 5 (25:58):
We're not in a shower.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
Arguments. I think. I just like to call them difficult conversations,
not an argument, because like I'm grown. No, no, no arguments.
Speaker 3 (26:14):
So do you practice difficult conversations in the shower?
Speaker 2 (26:18):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (26:18):
Okay, hmmm I do. I will have to say yes,
because I do talk to myself in the shower. I
can't believe I admitted that. Okay, tell people, tell people
it's my own recipe, but it's actually something you got
off TikTok, and maybe you added some garlic or something.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
No, you've been guilty these all these questions.
Speaker 6 (26:44):
No, no, no, not no, no, I mean not anything
like off of like TikTok or anything like that.
Speaker 3 (26:51):
I've had.
Speaker 5 (26:53):
I've had friends who've.
Speaker 6 (26:54):
Shown me how to do things, and I didn't act
like I would say my friend told me that.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
But yeah, no, okay, I don't cook, so.
Speaker 3 (27:02):
Yeah, I don't cook, so's not But I have purchased
things and tried to pretend.

Oh wait, I take it back.
Speaker 6 (27:08):
I just remember, I gotta say yeah, I gotta say yeah,
I've done that before I'm guilty. There's one time Valentine's Day.
I went to the grocery store, got those little things
that you can microwave in the bag and like vegetables whatever.
I put them on the plate and I put them
on the plate and I just threw like some parsley
and things on this long time ago. So it was

pulling it out the oven. Marshmallows is seeping through like
(27:57):
I just made it. I don't be playing with these people.

We just had a sold our weekend last weekend. This
weekend is about to sell out over at Hudson Theater,
and next we're going to be in Houston. But we're
just at the point where we're just elevating having conversations
with potential like sponsorships and things like that. Outside of that,
just continue to watch everything that's going on here at
(28:40):
Chef Bean's Cafe.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
Okay, such a good conversations, such good energy. It was
a lot of fun. Although I wish you would have
just answered your questions. Okay, you're listening to shame byes.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
The proceeding was a paid commercial by Black Girl's Son's
Green h
The following is a paid commercial by Black Girls Sunscreen.
The fuse expressed are those of the sponsor and not
iHeartMedia or this station. Welcome to Shamelessly Chante with your
host Chante Lundy.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Good morning. You're listening to Shamelessly Chante and I'm your host,
Chantay Lundy. So y'all, today I want to talk about
eating and now laugh because I am such a plane eater.
Over time, it has still not developed from when I
was a young person. So I don't eat any white
(00:43):
sauces like you know, mayonnaise, or like tiki sauce or
like a cottage cheese. I eat the same foods in
the same cities from the same restaurants because I like
consistency and familiality.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
You don't want to be disappointed.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
No, no, and I want to be full when I
eat anything new that I eat, and this TMI does
not agree with my stomach. Yes, even home cooked meals.
I have to get used to a person's hand and
just how they're you know, preparing something. Today we're going
to be talking to someone that is an expert in
(01:22):
the kitchen, but also an expert in many other things.
And I think with just how the world has progressed
with social media. It's like you got to show off
your talent and and that that's what you know he's done.
I'd be kind of curious to taste his food me too, right, yeah,
ask him to bring us a.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
Plate, you know what. I was going to ask him
why he didn't when I saw him in the green room,
like where's the food?
Speaker 2 (01:48):
So right?
Speaker 3 (01:49):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Okay. So at Black Girl's Sunscreen, we actually provide lunch
every single day to the team, and everyone has such
different eating habits and preferences and things like that. But besides,
you know, lunch, what else is going on ab like groc.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
Well, I just want to shout out the product that
really started it all for us in twenty sixteen, the
OG and that's our BGS thirty. So, I mean, it
really is the product that I think started the discussion
around the importance of black people, people of color wearing
sunscreen and wearing a sunscreen that did not leave a
(02:32):
white cast. So literally groundbreaking and like I said, shattered
those myths. And the reason why it's so amazing is
because it's so moisturizing, hydrating melts into the skin. Chantey
is showing you that it's packed with alo and sunflower
seed oil, carrot seed oil, avocado oil, jjoba oil, cacao butter.
(02:54):
I mean, it's just it's incredibly moisturizing to the skin,
and it continues to be our number one top selling
item for a reason. I mean, people love it. They
use it every single day. I know I do, and
we continue to gain distribution. So Kroger, I'm so excited
to announce, is one of our newest retail partners, so
(03:15):
you can get it there nationwide.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Yeah, listen, she's what started at all. I call her
our Queen. The team calls our Queen because that's exactly
who she is to us. I just put it on
and it rubbed in sheer. It doubles as a moisturizer,
so you can use it as SBF, an hydrating agent
for your skin. There's so much that could be set
could be said about Black Girl's Sunscreen, just how she
(03:40):
has paved the way in a space that didn't exist
before Black Girl's Sunscreen. And let me roll that back
for a second. Brown and black people have not been
part of the conversation ever. Ever, never, we've enabled companies
to now speak to the demographic of black and brown
people on some safety. So that's just something that you
(04:03):
can't ignore that Black Girl Sunscreen has done, and we
did it with with one product. The cool part is
that you know she's created an entire family. Yes, right, this,
this is what we do. That's right, what we do.
So hop on down to Kroger. Kroger is also Ralph
and and phrase, so you can find Black Girl subscreen
(04:25):
and fries as well as Kroger's and go ahead to
take it off the shelf because that's how we exist.
That's right. Okay, listening to the same.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
All right.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
If you want to protect your skin, cry, make sure
you get some Black girls sign scram black girl ur

Speaker 5 (04:43):
Just putting on your black Girl sign screen black black,

That doesn't black people get sign burned too. As my cousin,
you want to protect your skin, cry, make sure you
get some.
Speaker 5 (04:56):
Black girls sign scram black.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
Kimberly sitting next to us, Okay, So our next guest
is a creative force who uses his diverse talents as
an actor, author, playwright, and motivational speaker to spark meaningful
dialogue and inspire intentional living. He's the creator of Transparency,
a powerful live stage production that explores emotional vulnerability and
(05:26):
modern relationships, and the voice behind the philosophy of intentional consumption,
which challenges audiences to be mindful of the media, conversations
and energies they take in. Known for blending culinary artistry
with impactful narratives, please welcome Kwan Bevans Junior, or better
(05:48):
known as Chef Beans.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
To the showy Yeah, chef, what you eat for breakfast today?
Speaker 5 (05:58):
So today?
Speaker 6 (05:59):
Actually, Danny, well it's just seamos, just sea moost this morning,
do you I?
Speaker 2 (06:06):
Okay? So Kwan is your government name?
Speaker 5 (06:09):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Okay? How did if Kwan's your government name spelled? Also
very uniquely?
Speaker 6 (06:17):
The eyes what throws a lot of people off people, queen, Yep,
I've been getting that my whole life.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Okay, you thank your mother for that or you cursor
for that, not curser.
Speaker 6 (06:26):
But you know, so I'm a junior, so I would
have to go to my grandmother. But I mean, I
guess the eye is what makes me an individual, so
I take it.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Okay. So how did Chef Beans come about?
Speaker 6 (06:38):
So in high school, some of my friends just started
calling me q Beans, my last name being Bevans sometimes
people say Q Bevans. I don't know where they started
calling me Q beans and being a part of a fraternity.
One day I was going to a cookout and one
of my five brothers just gave me a chef hat
because I didn't have any other paraphernilia. So I after
I put that chef hat on, people just started calling
(06:58):
me chef beans. And I maintained that nickname just because
I used it as a metaphor, not only for the
things that I was learning to do in the kitchen,
but also for the things that I cook up creatively.
Speaker 5 (07:10):
So I just made it make sense.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
And now talk to us about intentional consumption.
Speaker 5 (07:15):
Yes, what does that mean?
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Because we hear all through your content.
Speaker 6 (07:18):
Yeah, So what intentional consumption was for me? Well, when
I birthed it, it came around the time, I want
to say, twenty fourteen twenty fifteen, when we kept seeing
a lot of police brutality being shown on social media
and my spirit responding to it in a negative way.
It inspired me to want to create content that does
the reverse effect on people, Like, how can I create
(07:39):
content that people consume that actually lifts them up? And
that's what motivated me to want to start posting motivational
videos or just showing them different practices of being intentional. Again,
not just what you physically consume, but the content you consume,
the conversation you have, and the energy you jest. And
I just continuously watered that until now it's sprouted to
a brand that being supported worldwide.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
Chef, I mean, so you are a storyteller, So what
made you kind of combine the world of storytelling with
the culinary influence? Like what brought that together?
Speaker 6 (08:14):
Yeah, So my introduction to the kitchen goes all the
way back to childhood, and I guess it wasn't necessarily
an introduction. Every time I would try to go in
the kitchen and my family or parents were like, don't
let him touch anything. He's heavy handed. I would break
pots and pants and different things like that. Right, Like
a lot of you, I kind of wasn't really allowed
(08:36):
to really get busy in the kitchen until I got older.
I started working in different restaurants and I'm like, oh,
this is a real thing. No, but it's not until
I learned about you know, medium heat, slow simmer that no,
you actually got to control the fire. So when it
comes to storytelling. I know specifically in first grade, my
first grade teacher brought in a storyteller for us and
(08:57):
we had to close our eyes, said Chris cross Apples,
and I remember just hearing like the rain sticks. We
went through like a safari or something. Okay, I remember
hearing the rain sticks. So we had to like tap
our thighs when the lion was chasing us and things
like that. So that was my introduction to my imagination
and I realized I can transmute my thoughts into like
physical things, and I just continuously watered that in most
(09:20):
areas of my life.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
Well, so you've you know, you've been in front of
the camera, So you appeared on shows like this is Us, right,
and you've done some ted talks. Yeah, with three steps
to ace your next conversation. So two part question here.
So I'm curious, how has your background in the kitchen
really influenced the way you approach TV, film media as
(09:45):
a storyteller.
Speaker 6 (09:47):
Yes, so my background in the kitchen that was not
the introduction to Chef Bean's. I've always been interested in
the kitchen. I've managed restaurants, cooked at different restaurants. But
it helped me better with like color orinary metaphors. For example,
it's something called like mesa implies, which is everything in
this place, like if the yams go here, or the
rights goes here, or the season and go here goes here.
(10:09):
Make sure you put it there so everyone knows where
it's at. And I apply that to how I stay
organized in my house. I apply to how I stay
organized the other fastest of my life. And it influences
it because the kitchen, I feel like, I feel like
that's where you can learn a lot of soft skills.
That's where you learn a lot because everything has to
be communicated. It just helps me with my specificity when
I'm operating at everything else that I do, I have
(10:32):
to maintain a certain level of efficacy to make sure
that I'm accomplishing whatever it is that I desire. So
it inspires all of that. And I think the second
part of the question with something like how it influences or.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
Yeah, your approach to the media to TV just transparency.
Speaker 6 (10:50):
And I also noticed my play is called transparency. I
noticed you had transparency and integrity on your website, so
I already feel like we parallel prepared for this. Listen, Listen, Listen,
your integrity and transparency on there. So that's how I
approach life. I like straight lines. I don't like too
many surprises. Here's what it is, here's who I am,
and I like that in return. Even though I don't
(11:11):
always get that in return, I like it. So I'm
always looking at certain entertainment and things with a fine cole.
And I forget the quote, what is it like taking
the meat, spin out the bones or something like that.
Speaker 5 (11:22):
I just can't.
Speaker 6 (11:23):
I'm just always intentional with the things I consume and
the things that I choose to take away from them.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
So do you think jams and rice go together?
Speaker 5 (11:30):
No?
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Oh, okay, No, I just wanted to be clear on No.
Speaker 5 (11:35):
I was just name friendom examples.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
But I know that, But now I needed to understand
who you were just a little bit.
Speaker 5 (11:40):
No, Yams are right, that's not my style.
Speaker 4 (11:45):
If you want to protect your skin, crime, make sure
you get some black girls side screen ys. Just put
it on your black girls side screen, all right, black
don't black people get sunburned too? As my cousin, you
want to protect your skin, make sure you get some
(12:07):
black girls side screen your just put on your Black girls.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
Chef about your fraternity life.
Speaker 5 (12:17):
Okay, what do you want to know? What do you
want to know?
Speaker 2 (12:21):
How's that really shaped you into? You know? Because once
you said it, I was like I could see that.
Speaker 5 (12:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (12:27):
So what I would say is going to college, there
was a lot of different groups, and being a person
who played sports in high school who didn't play sports
in college. Through my moniscus, I always lean towards community.
So my older cousins who just transferred from Lincoln University,
they were already joining the fraternity, so they introduced me
(12:49):
to it, and it just helped me with like.
Speaker 5 (12:52):
How would I say. I would see these.
Speaker 6 (12:54):
Men go from partying to then the next day being
in like a shirt and tie, and I just like
that level of like that switch. So leaning more into
it and just noticing how they can go from partying
to also being in class and taking care of their
grades in the library.
Speaker 5 (13:08):
That's what helped me just.
Speaker 6 (13:11):
Gain confidence inside outside of the classroom as a black man.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Did you see the most recent comment from Chuck on
NBA talking about how do us in fraternity? He was
really trying to rank on shag I was like, anybody
in the fraternity is a chunk.
Speaker 6 (13:28):
I didn't see it, But I mean, we get stuff
like that all the time. But it's kind of like
if you know, you know, we're just collectively he.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Said, it's abs He said, y'all don't do nothing for
the community, which is which is what said. I'm just
telling you.
Speaker 6 (13:43):
I know, I know what he says, and I know
what people say. But at the end of the day,
we know the impact that we make on others. We
know the all the philanthropic things that we do. So
a lot of times we don't really entertain our conversations
as goats with sheet.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
So you o, now you want to you want to REPHO.
I don't see the colors on.
Speaker 6 (14:05):
Well I'm in Omaka so far, okay, yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
Right, So I'm curious, would you say that you are
at times a bit of a risk taker? And if
you are every day, what if okay, great, so risks
that you have taken that have served you well, that
you really learned something from.
Speaker 6 (14:23):
One of my biggest risks that I can think of
is moving to Los Angeles without a job and a
place to stay.
Speaker 5 (14:29):
That's that's the biggest risk I took.
Speaker 6 (14:31):
I have an education background, so I've worked all throughout
K through twelve and higher ed, but me wanting to
read teacher. I was, I was teaching, I was. I
was in reds life in college, working there at the
r r D R A n r D not you
snitching a No, I was the cool one though, I was.
I was the cool one though. So again I wanted
(14:52):
to water this chef bean's thing, and I just continuously
watered it. Came up with a slogan intentional consumption. Soon
came the brand and be intentional, and I just kept
leaning into it. But that was one of my biggest
risks because again it wasn't guaranteed, but I know I
wanted to live a life full of inexplainable joy as
opposed to just doing things and make my parents and
people around me happy. I had to lean into what
(15:14):
made sense to me.
Speaker 5 (15:15):
Paid off absolutely. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (15:18):
Okay, so you I'm curious creatives, young creatives coming up.
Is there any advice that you would give them, and
you know, just staying to themselves.
Speaker 6 (15:32):
Yes, the advice that I would give them is, don't
focus too much on who's not supporting you.
Speaker 5 (15:38):
Focus on who is supporting you.
Speaker 6 (15:41):
A lot of times people don't do things because they
feel like the people around them aren't supporting them. But
you have to believe in to yourself and be willing
to invest into yourself. When I moved out here, I
was down to like my last one hundred dollars and
it was this restaurant booth that I saw on Facebook
market place. So again, I'm trying to bring this chef
beans thinged to life. It was on Facebook marketplace for
(16:02):
like forty dollars. I spent like another thirty dollars to
get a U haul and then the last thirty dollars
to put gas in the take after using the U haul,
and I'm like, I got this booth and I'm going
to take this booth around the world with me. And
that's been the same booth that I've used throughout every
season of my show, most of my plays out here.
We just got back from Atlanta, now selling out LA,
going to do Houston next. But again, like, you have
(16:23):
to be willing to invest into yourself even if the
people around you don't, because you will find your tribe,
you will find your community, and everything will work out
the way that it's supposed to.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Well, if you spent your last hundred dollars and how'd
you get everything else.
Speaker 6 (16:36):
Just grind it, like I got everything else from grinding.
Living not too far from the fashion district, have access
to the shirts and things like that, and my dad
bought me a heat press. It takes maybe three dollars
four dollars to make a shirt. You sell it for
more than that, you take the profit, double down on it,
and compound progression.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
So where I was going with that is because you
know similar story, right, you're taking it all, but there
still are people around you that supports you. And I
just heard you say your dad brought absolutely was that
was significant, absolutely process.
Speaker 6 (17:10):
Very significant, very significant.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
So I heard you say that you were on our website.
Thank you for checking it out and just being prepared
on who you're talking to. Absolutely so uh pre pre
just having this conversation. What has been your relationship with
sunscreen and do you wear sunscream while you're barbecuing?
Speaker 6 (17:29):
I have actually never used sunscreen. Okay, I've never used sunscreen.
But it's interesting because, like you said, I was doing
a deep dive on the website and I'm watching the
different things that you guys specialize in and the common
trope that we hear, especially black people, don't need sunscreen.
Black people don't need sunscreen. But when I think about it,
there's been mad times, whether I was grilling or at
the beach, I'll just look over at my shoulder and
(17:51):
it's super flaky.
Speaker 5 (17:53):
Am my own fire right now?
Speaker 6 (17:55):
So, I mean, I appreciate you all for just having
confidence in the these bottles in jars and just being
able to share them with the world, because your website
introduced me actually to want to use sunscreen. Because again,
I've been a person I don't need subscreen, like I
don't I'm black out. What I need subscreen for?
Speaker 2 (18:13):
Is that what you were taught?
Speaker 6 (18:15):
That's what I heard, That's what I'm sure that's what
I was taught, even if it was indirectly.
Speaker 5 (18:20):
But you are so you.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
I mean, it's okay, you weren't anything, right.
Speaker 6 (18:24):
Yeah, So just going off of like things that you
hear and it's like, oh, I guess I don't need it.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
You didn't think it was for you. Yeah, I hear
you on that. Okay, So we're gonna give you some sunscreen.
They want you to wear it all summer, yeah, and
even not in the summer, but we got something particularly
for you.
Speaker 5 (18:41):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
All right, So We're gonna play a fun game. Yeah, ready,
you're going to eat up?
Speaker 5 (18:45):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (18:46):
Okay, all right, chef. So we call this game yeah
or no. So I might say a word or phrase
and you just respond yeah or like really fun and
it's gonna be kind of a round robin. So will
start with you and then chantage and I'll give you
my answer. Okay, all right, So the first one post
(19:07):
her hands apartment, but never her face.
Speaker 7 (19:14):
Yeah, I have to make sure understand it.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
Okay, you don't even know where to look right now?
Speaker 2 (19:31):
Okay, I'm up.
Speaker 5 (19:32):
I feel like mister crabs mean.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
You want to give us an explanation or should we
just keep it moving?
Speaker 5 (19:40):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (19:40):
Okay, yeah, yeah, okay, sends thinking of you just to
keep your roster warm.
Speaker 5 (19:54):
Hold up the process the question, like you.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
Know you'll text her I'm thinking.
Speaker 6 (20:00):
Of you to keep the roster warm.
Speaker 5 (20:03):
Nah.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
In my younger days, maybe no, but not no.
Speaker 3 (20:10):
No, Okay, turned down brand deals because you want to
be selective, but it's really about the rate. You say
you want to be selective, but it's about the rate.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
Nah yeah nah, no, no show.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
Answer. Okay, I'm not okay, I've judged someone based on
how they season their food. Yeah, okay, says actor, but
only has two roles on their IMDb.
