In this episode, we talked with the duo that created the few-week-old initiative called Painted Black STL , Jayvn Solomon & Tyson Baker. That's right-- One of the STL by Design co-hosts is both the interviewer and interviewee this time!

Painted Black STL began as an initiative to support & boost black artists and their voices by paying them to paint businesses that were boarded up due to property destruction. In the past few weeks of it's short existence, it's gained more steam than either of them expected. In this episode, we discuss more of it's origin, present, & future.
