GP catches up with her friend Pharrell Williams and, no surprise, the multihyphenate artist has a lot of ground to cover. They talk about his parenting philosophy and how its shifted during the pandemic. They talk about his creative process and being a pluralist in a world that wants everyone to pick a lane. They discuss the Black Lives Matter movement and his dreams for the future: “I love my nation because of its progression, but I’m really in love with its untapped potential,” he says. Williams shares the story behind the accelerator he launched, Black Ambition, which invests in Black and Latinx students and entrepreneurs, providing capital to get their ideas off the ground and hands-on mentorship. And of course they talk about his skin care brand Humanrace. Photo by Andrew White.
