  The One : The Life and Legacy of Muhammad Ali 
  A one-Man-Play by David Serero 
  The One is a powerful, intimate journey into the heart and soul of the man the world called “The Greatest.” Through riveting dialogue, poetic monologues, and emotional storytelling, David Serero brings Muhammad Ali’s voice, spirit, and humanity to life in this immersive audio experience. 
  From the streets of Louisville to the global stage, from Olympic gold to exile and redemption, The One reveals the fighter behind the legend: the faith, humor, courage, and conviction that made Ali not only a champion in the ring, but a revolutionary figure who changed the world. 
  Blending history, emotion, and theatrical performance, this audiobook captures the rhythm and music of Ali’s life: the punchlines, the poetry, and the pain of a man who stood tall against every obstacle. 
  Whether you know him as a boxer, a hero, or a symbol of freedom, The One invites you to hear Muhammad Ali like never before: raw, honest, and unforgettable. 
  This powerful production, which premiered in Off-Broadway, New York, in 2024, explores the iconic boxer's life, struggles, and triumphs, tracing his journey from Cassius Clay to becoming a global symbol of resilience, activism, and the champion of champions. 
  Serero, known for his bold storytelling and transformative performances, takes on the complex character of Ali, blending drama, history, and intimate reflection to capture the essence of the boxer’s persona. THE ONE delves into critical moments from Ali's career, his battles inside and outside the ring, and the personal sacrifices he made in his fight for justice, equality, and peace. “I wish to treat Ali as a Shakespearean character. He has everything that Shakespeare would love. He rose to fame, fell, then stood up again and fought against many, including himself,” said David Serero.

  Janet Jackson's The Velvet Rope

  The question of control for Black women is a costly one. From 1986 onwards, the trajectory of Janet Jackson’s career can be summed up in her desire for control. Control for Janet was never simply just about her desire for economic and creative control over her career but was, rather, an existential question about the desire to control and be in control over her bodily integrity as a Black woman. This book examines Janet’s continuation of her quest for control as heard in her sixth album, The Velvet Rope. Engaging with the album, the promotion, the tour, and its accompanying music videos, this study unpacks how Janet uses Black cultural production as an emancipatory act of self-creation that allows her to reconcile with and, potentially, heal from trauma, pain, and feelings of alienation. The Velvet Rope’s arc moves audiences to imagine the possibility of what emancipation from oppression--from sexual, to internal, to societal--could look like for the singer and for others. The sexually charged content and themes of abuse, including self-harm and domestic violence, were dismissed as “selling points” for Janet at the time of its release. The album stands out as a revelatory expression of emotional vulnerability by the singer, one that many other artists have followed in the 20-plus years since its release.
