Roland S. Martin Enlists Social Media Political Sensation Knowa De Baraso for Black Star Network


Roland Martin was so impressed by Knowa De Baraso at the DNC that he offered the 12-year-old social media sensation a show on his Black Star Network.

): “So your source is ‘Trust me, bro?’” Video of the incident made it onto NBC’s “Late Night With Seth Meyers,” and it landed De Baraso a guest shot on popular “The Breakfast Club” radio show and podcast during the DNC. Looking like a prep school student in a white polo shirt and khaki shorts, De Baraso showed that he’s fast on his feet and has a keen understanding of national politics, as well as the challenge of reaching and motivating younger voters. The show is a mix of Martin’s raw commentary on daily headlines – of late he has routinely referred to Trump as an “asshole” and an “idiot,” among other colorful terms – and virtual panels of Black journalists, commentators, artist, advocates, academics and other thinkers.
