Out of the thousand and some Tiny Desk concerts to date, it's seldom an artist returns to the Desk. But when they do, there are a couple requirements: come in a new iteration or present something completely different.

This brought to light a profound investment thesis: the idea that when Black individuals own local commercial real estate, they not only contribute to the economy but also create a bond with the community that safeguards and supports these enterprises. This concept is deeply rooted in the principle […]
