Jesse Williams Addresses Leak of Broadway Nude Scene
Jesse Williams vowed not to be discouraged after leaked video and images of his onstage nude scene in the Broadway play Take Me Out were posted online. “I’m not down about it.

How Greg Spero’s Jump From Tech to Music Inspired Him to Put the Artist First
The pandemic was a blow to any artist who loves to perform live – and Greg Spero was no exception.

That desire pushed him to launch Pitch (formerly known as Weebid), a startup he describes as the “first fan-initiated crowd-funding platform.” The concept is simple: When a music artist joins Pitch, their fans are able to head t...
