Although raised primarily in the Bronx where he currently resides, Sean Atkinson spent his teen years in Los Angeles during the 1990s. His firsthand account of the strategic process used by some community residents during the riots following the Rodney King verdict sheds light on his commitment to diversifying both the Marketing and Branding industry and the small to medium business community. At six feet, nine inches, it's only natural that everything he does stands head and shoulders above others.
Our conversation covers a lot of ground. From the stereotyping of tall Black men as athletes to finding one's own path. From a harrowing encounter with the police at age fourteen to the experience as a mail clerk in a narcotics division. We even talk about privilege--white privilege, tall privilege, American privilege. The entire conversation was a privilege for me and it will be a blessing to you.
