What inspired the creation of Melanin Unscripted? AN: I was inspired by not seeing enough diverse narratives on characters of color in mainstream media. After a while I got tired of complaining so I made the conscious decision to fill that gap both behind and infront of the camera. Whether it’s our documentary projects, events or Agency work, it’s about bringing a diverse group of creatives together to create authentic storytelling.

Is it ok to sacrifice one life to save ten? (**if the answer is yes, what if that one life is your friend’s and the ten were strangers, would you change your answer?**) AN: I would prefer not to answer this because you never really know until your in that position to choose and have no other option. – However I do think that there are people in the world that have such a huge impact that their death could have a ripple effect that has more detrimental effects than 10 people passing, but every life is ultimately valuable. ![Processed with VSCO with m3 preset](https://braperucci.africa/api/media/variant/full/Amarachi-Nwosu-braperucci.africa2.jpg?v=jz8g51g0) _Processed with VSCO with m3 preset_ ## 6\. What do you think is the most overrated and underrated trend of the moment? AN: Overrated (Clout Bait) – People who do things for attention but use that attention towards nothing valuable, not even for themselves. Underrated: Self care – A lot of people talk about self care on the internet, but I feel like we should celebrate the people who embody it and use their platform to help others online and offline. ## 7\. What’s the most intriguing story of a black living in the Diaspora you have heard while doing your MU series? AN:A friend of mine named Sam Okyere is a black actor from Ghana in Korea and his story always amazes me. He turned a college scholarship into a successful entertainment career in Asia and he is a business man at a young age and has built schools in Ghana. That’s truly global impact and it still blows my mind just thinking about it. That to me is what I call making History. ![Processed with VSCO with m5 preset](https://braperucci.africa/api/media/variant/full/Amarachi-Nwosu-braperucci.africa3.jpg?v=jz8g5urk) _Processed with VSCO with m5 preset_ ## 8\.
