About this episode
This week on Shaping Freedom with Lisane Basquiat, we dive into one of life’s biggest questions: Who am I? It’s a question that has followed humankind throughout history—one we may answer internally, yet find far more complex when the world tries to define us on its own terms.To help unpack this, legendary publicist, image architect, and author Angelo Ellerbee joins us for a powerful conversation. With a decades-long career shaping the public images of icons like Dionne Warwick, Grace Jones, Michael Jackson, Alicia Keys, Nina Simone, and DMX, Angelo knows firsthand what it means to craft identity—both personally and professionally.
Together, we explore his journey of self-discovery, the art of authenticity, and how to stay true to yourself in a world that often pressures you to be someone else. This is Shaping Freedom.
