Mychal Denzel Smith

Currently, I am a featured columnist for MSNBC's theGrio, a contributor to Ebony, The Guardian, and The Root.

My work covers a range of topics, including but not limited to: politics, social justice, pop culture, Hip-Hop, mental health, feminism, and black masculinity. The theme running through all of my work is the desire to engage the black male identity today and going forward.

I have been a featured commentator on a number of radio shows (The Santita Jackson Show and The Monique Caradine Show among them) and also appeared on the Our World with Black Enterprise television show, hosted by Marc Lamont Hill, to discuss the issue of mental health in the black community.

I am available for freelance writing assignments, television, radio, speaking engagements, panel discussions, and workshops.
