Deante’ Kyle

We wouldn't have Cube.

We wouldn't have Biggie.

Like.

That is, that is the, that is the canon of hip hop.

But if you just like, we only gonna let people in New York rap.

Yes.

And...

My dad was a Buckeye as well.

He went to Ohio State and Ohio State was formative because it was like living in a little city.

Fifty thousand people go to that college.

And so I really found what I love to do there.

I was in student government.

I started help start one of the black student.

We had a black student newspaper, but it wasn't getting done when it needed to get done.

And so my friend started this thing and he brought me on to be his one of his first writers called Black Horizon.

And it's funny because somebody just sent me one of my old articles.

I had this column called Ashley's Answers, where I would like, what's going on with the basketball courts on South Campus?

Are police harassing black people?

And like I wrote this, it was like not Pulitzer Prize, but it was I, you know what I mean?

But I've just always been interested in telling stories, connecting people through those stories to policy changes.
