During the event, viewers will see past covers from the publication, which include rap icon Jermaine Dupri, actor Da’Vinchi, and radio legend Charlamagne Tha God. “We have been supportive of Johnson since Season 1. The series shows that Black men are not a monolith and depicts the many triumphs and struggles Black men encounter on a daily basis, which is often left out of television programming," The Quintessential Gentleman's founder, Eric K. Thomas, says about aligning with the show. “The synergy between The Quintessential Gentleman and Johnson just makes sense.” With the writers and actors strike preventing talent from promoting their shows and hard work, it is still important for us to support shows that are made by us for us. As we are entertained, we will still send a message that shows like Johnson are needed. Make sure to tune in Saturday, August 5. Viewers can catch up on Johnson and all Bounce originals anytime on Brown Sugar, Bounce's subscription video-on-demand service.
