Coffee, Tea & Dranks

MC Gran Productions

The HiveMind Unified began in 2020 as a resource hub for professionals of color in the Entertainment industry. We started Coffee, Tea & Dranks to continue our efforts to expose early career professionals to paths they can take in the entertainment industry by sitting down with the people who have been there, done that, and who never hesitate to give back by sharing their story.
