Listen "WHAT'S NEXT IS NOW"
Episode Synopsis
Creative director, artist and entrepreneur Enitan Bereola II is redeeming culture and building scalable
value at the intersections of storytelling, commerce and tech. A 3x best selling, 8x award-winning
author, who wrote the books that Oprah and The Obama’s own, Enitan emerged from Internet anomaly
to Male Author of the Year with an NAACP nomination for outstanding literary work. Notably, Enitan is
cofounder of FLOURYSHTM — the largest community driven marketplace to discover and shop Black-
owned brands.
An alumni of Florida A&M University, Enitan sits on the Cultural Architect board of 7th Ave who raised
$2.5M to provide Black communities with the tools to connect in a space that prioritizes cultural needs.
He advised and partnered with NBCUniversal, 20th Century Fox, McDonald’s, Bergdorf Goodman,
Jordan Brand and more. He's enjoyed collaborations with award-winning actor Meagan Good,
Michelle Williams, Grammy award winning platinum producer Bryan-Michael Cox, Jidenna, Super Bowl
champ Bobby Wagner, 5x NBA All-Star Chris Webber and others. Bereola produced the short film,
"This Time" directed by Academy Award winning director Matthew A. Cherry. He produced sold out
events at SXSW, ESSENCE Festival and internationally in London, Australia and Toronto. Bereola's sold-
out Exhibit Gray tour was named one of the most progressive social experiments in the country. Enitan
sustains culture by giving back with a track record spanning nearly two decades amplifying the voices
of community. He built a vertically integrated 7-figure entertainment enterprise off book publishing,
sales, touring and e-commerce.
His first loves are his Emmy-nominated wife, Letisha, son Miles Berkeley and daughter Ava-Sky.
