In this episode, host NeAndre Broussard sits down with storyteller, producer, and founder of Black Excellence Brunch, Trell Thomas, to unpack purpose, preparation, and creating spaces where Black people are celebrated just for being who they are. From Sunday dinner at his mom’s house to curating all-white rooms at Essence Fest, Art Basel, and even The White House, Trell shares how a simple gathering in his apartment became a global cultural moment. Together they dive into: 1. Why Romans 8:28 and “all things work together” still anchors Trell’s journey 2. How Black Excellence Brunch was born from corporate burnout, healing, and a need for safe, affirming spaces 3. Why everyone wears white—and how it centers Black skin, Black joy, and brand consistency 4. The power of relationships: your network as your net worth (beyond transactional connections) 5. “Prepare for what you pray for” and making space for what you’re asking God for 6. Being a vessel: letting your overflow pour into others and building a legacy of service 7. Showing up authentically in a world that constantly asks you to shrink If you’ve been wrestling with purpose, dreaming about your own movement, or trying to figure out how to turn vision into rooms that actually exist, this episode is your reminder: what you see in your spirit, you can stand in with your feet. 📌 Share this with someone who needs a reminder to prepare for what they pray for—and to stop shrinking in rooms they were designed to fill. 👍🏾 Like, ✍🏾 comment, and 🔔 subscribe for more conversations that pour back into our people.
