Summary

We like to drop these when you least expect it! In this installment of Nothin’ NICE to Say Interviews, Aldo NICE got a chance to talk shop with one-half of the BlackPackas movement, Territo P. The podcast got started with a brief history of the BlackPackas (02:00) with a particular focus on the mission of the collective, the hashtags #EarthOurTurf (08:00) and #ComplexionProtection (10:00) and what you will find at blackpackas.com (12:00). Next, Territo took the time to discuss some expectations for international travel (15:00) specifically how darker skinned people are perceived globally and the growth/evolution of the BlackPackas brand (20:00). Aldo switched focus to ask about the perception that this company is blatantly trying to capitalize on the “woke” phenomenon and alienating diverse consumers (32:00) and why light-skinned and affluent black folks tend to shout about their blackness louder than anyone (41:00)? We wrapped up the talk with a discussion about Territo’s future plans after law school (52:00), his past career as an educator (56:00), the tarnishing of the legacies of Michael Jackson and R. Kelly (1:02:00), and his definition of “wokeness” (1:08:00). “I do it for my homeboys living that cubicle life...” – Aldo NICE
