SUMMARY:Earthquake
DESCRIPTION:In addition to the television talk show circuit and digital platforms\, Comedian Earthquake has been featured on primetime television as well. Notably\, his first real look as a recurring character was as the beloved ‘Uncle Mike’ from the hit sitcom\, ‘Everybody Hates Chris’. He then enjoyed a string of special appearances and more recurring roles including Bounce Network’s\, ‘In the Cut’\, ‘Rel’ for Fox Television\, and HBO Max’s ‘South Side’. Most recently Quake is enjoying recurring roles on CBS’ ‘The Neighborhood’ starring Cedric the Entertainer and preparing for the third season of the breakout hit series\, ‘Johnson’ for the Bounce network which had garnered over five-million views per episode in its first season. Additionally\, Earthquake can also be spotted on HBO Max series entitled\, Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty. \nEarthquake has enjoyed the film arena as well.

Celebrating its fifth season\, Quake’s House airs Monday through Thursday and is the quintessential house of funny. The chat ranges from current events to the man-women complexities of romantic life and people tune in to hear Quake’s off-the cuff banter and celebrity drop-ins. \nPresently\, Earthquake is filming various projects and preparing for his new comedy special. A Washington D.C native\, he presently resides in Los Angeles and continues to sell out rooms on the comedy circuit\, on nationwide tours and remains a favorite among top tier stand-up comedy talent. As he enjoys arguably the biggest year of his career\, Quake will continue to make television appearances giving his fans glimpses of his work on popular programming.

SUMMARY:Michael S. Gordon Talk & Book Signing
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Saturday\, June 6 at 5pm for an evening with author Michael S. Gordon as he joins friend and moderator Lisette Valle as discuss his book\, C.E.A.S.E. for Equity: Cultivating Empathy And Sustaining Ecosystems for Equity. \nThis is a ticketed event. $55 includes the following:\n* One book\n* Q&A and book signing\n* Catered meal from Trap Chicken \nAbout the Book:\nC.E.A.S.E. for Equity isn’t about red or blue\, left or right\, or where you live – whether in the heart of a bustling city or the quiet of a rural town. It’s not about political affiliation\, geographic location\, or drawing lines between who is right and who is wrong. It’s not asking you to ignore the past but to confront it with courage and compassion. At its core\, this book is about cultivating empathy and sustaining ecosystems for equity – elements\, habitats\, interactions that support all people\, not just a privileged few. It requires you to see the humanity in every person you encounter. It encourages you to break free from narratives that divide. It challenges you to begin the long-overdue process of collective healing and liberation. \nC.E.A.S.E. for Equity invites every reader to take personal responsibility – for your choices\, your language\, and your actions. This book encourages you to contribute with the intent of reforming the social and economic structures that allow prejudice\, oppression\, exclusion\, and erasure to persist. It’s a vision rooted not in blame but in accountability\, transformation\, and love. Above all\, C.E.A.S.E. for Equity is about peace\, justice\, and a sincere concern for the human soul. It’s a call to walk and work together – not simply as acquaintances or allies\, but as accomplices seeking a more just and compassionate world for all humanity.
