Hajj Flemings - Founder of Brand Camp University (Host)
In 2011, Hajj Flemings was one of eight entrepreneurs selected for the CNN’s Black in America 4: The New Promised Land: Silicon Valley documentary with Soledad O’Brien. During the filming of the documentary, he came to understand the real meaning of the term ‘meritocracy’ and recognized that lack of access in the technology space was creating a permanent underclass in communities of color. That experience literally changed the course of his life. Hajj is founder of Brand Camp University, an educational platform that is preparing people for the future of work. In 2017 he launched Rebrand Cities a global civic design partnership with WordPress.com to eradicate the digital divide. He has worked with clients including Nike, Walt Disney, AT&T, WordPress.com, Pitney Bowes, Pfizer, the Detroit Pistons and the Detroit Lions.
Akintunde
COMEDIAN - ACTOR - WRITER - PRODUCER - DIRECTOR - RADIO PERSONALITY
Hilarious , bold , fresh , and groundbreaking are just a few of the adjectives used to describe Comedian Akintunde. But first and foremost, he is a servant, husband, and father of 5 who loves GOD, loves his wife ,Eunissa, loves his children, and loves to make people laugh. But after 20 years as a comedian, Akintunde feels as though he is just getting started. Why, you may ask, would someone with scores of national television and radio appearances feel as though they are just getting started? Because now, the veteran stand up is no longer just on a career path, he is on assignment from GOD. Akintunde laid down his own personal career aspirations, and accepted GOD's assignment to Entertain the Body Of Christ, and draw the world to Christ through stand up comedy, writing, acting, producing, and directing!
Since accepting GOD's assignment, Akintunde has done just that, and consequently, has been nothing but blessed. In 2003, he was named joke/ monologue writer for the syndicated television series "Its Showtime at the Apollo". In 2004, he wrote the monologues for Comedian Monique for the annual "BET Awards" ceremony. That same year, Akintunde recorded his first live comedy album, "Brutally Honest Live at Right Direction", and began a national tour under the same title. Shortly thereafter, Akintunde was blessed to re-team with fellow comedian Chris Tucker as his monologue writer for the "2005 NAACP Image Awards". He has appeared in front of thousands as a performer and host on the Family Expo Stage and the comedy show at Bishop T.D. Jakes' "Mega Fest" 2005 and 2013. Some of his televised appearances include BET, TBS, The Word Network, TBN and The Gospel Music Channel. Akintunde has also made multiple appearances on the Stellars Awards Gospel Music Show. In 2008, he debuted his syndicated radio show, "The Akintunde Show" and this property has now been expanded through a partnership with Rejoice Radio Network and Broadcast Affiliate Sales.

Growing up in the church, Jill began singing in the youth choir and writing songs at age 11. She rounded out her talent when she picked up the guitar as a 19 year old student at Wayne State University. Since then, Jill has honed her gifts performing at venues across Metro Detroit and Georgia including opening for Kierra Sheard, Christon Gray, and Grammy award winning artist LeCrae.
Jill's career has taken off since the 2014 release of her debut album "Captured".
