The Ask MRS HR Podcast brings real talk and expert insights to your workplace dilemmas with a touch of humor and a whole lot of honesty.
In this episode, host Dr. Thelá Thatch sits down with award-winning creator, educator, and visionary Naseed Gifted. From the world of engineering to the front of the classroom—and now to the forefront of Afrofuturism—Naseed takes us on an inspiring journey of purpose, passion, and creativity.
They talk legacy, storytelling, and building futures through culturally rich, genre-bending narratives like PB Soldier and The Rose that Grew from the Concrete. Naseed shares his insights on the power of writing goals down by hand, how ideas transform into movements, and why Afrofuturism is more than just art—it’s a roadmap for liberation.
Expect laughter, deep truths, and a few surprise gems—including rapid-fire questions, reflections on family inspiration, and how Naseed is empowering the next generation through Khem Animation Film Festival (KhemFest) and his nonprofit PBS Media Studios.
If you’ve ever felt the pull to create something bigger than yourself, this episode will show you how to conceive it, believe it, and achieve it.
