“Art isn’t competitive. It’s just not. As long as I’m making stuff that I’m proud of, that I do think will elicit a response, or at least elicit a response from me because I respect my own taste, then I think that it’s never really gonna be over for me.”
Akilah Hughes is a writer, comedian, podcaster, and YouTuber. Videos she wrote and starred in, both on her own YouTube channel and for companies like MTV and Fusion, have racked up more than 100 million views. She hosted Crooked Media’s daily news podcast “What a Day,” was a writer on the web series “Command Z” directed by Steven Soderbergh, and authored the memoir “Obviously: Stories from my Timeline”. Her latest podcast, “Rebel Spirit,” is out now.
