Thankful for the opportunity to be a community partner for Pharrell’s Williams non-profit organization, TEAM YELLOW. For the first few months of this past school year, I ran the Content Creation club after school at YELLOW HAB. We spent time watching videos on YouTube and other social platforms to talk about what type of content they like to watch and make and why. We also were able to create some fun videos which gave them opportunity to get comfortable in front of and behind the camera and be introduced to programs like Adobe Premiere Pro and Photoshop. Thank You to Stephanie L. Sutton , Dr. Goodman, Mr. E and the whole YELLOW staff. And Thank You to the explorers, I’m always here if you need me!

Chauncey Jenkins had a great time hosting a whiskey tasting for fellow Cornellians for Cornell Black Alumni Association’s 50th Anniversary weekend. Big salute to Antonia Singleton for reaching out! We explored the history of different styles of whiskey and focused on some emerging black voices in the industry. We started the evening with Oaxacan Old Fashioneds featuring 3708 Spirits Reposado!!! Highlights of the tasting were Edmonds Honor Bourbon and Shinju Whisky - a black owned bourbon and black-owned Japanese whiskey. Toast to all who came out and congrats to CBAA on 50 years.

Hip-Hop History Month at VSU was the first official event for the Virginia Hip-Hop Foundation and we look forward to bringing members of the Virginia Hip-Hop community together for more events in 2026 and beyond.

Chauncey Jenkins had a great time with the Troutman Pepper team talking about the rebellions whiskey has fueled and its global influence on law and culture. We dove into a ton of history and tasted through the Glenfiddich Aston Martin 16yr, Angel’s Envy Port Barrel, Teeling Small Batch, Crown Royal XO, and Hibiki Harmony. We talked some do’s and don’ts - including how the nasal cycle can affect how your nostrils work throughout the day and why you don’t want to swirl whiskey too aggressively before you nose it. We also talked some general rules, myths, and lore. If something like this interests you or you know someone it might, feel free to reach out because I love doing it!
