Kalief Browder: Netflix

Website: Donnell E Smith

Baltimore native Donnell E Smith joins me for the 17th episode of The Creation Grounds. We discuss his trip to Haiti on a budget and how others can travel on a budget. And his role as Kalief Browder in the Jay Z produced Netflix documentary TIME: The Kalief Browder Story.

Donnell is wildly creative and talented. He has talents in music as well as a seasoned actor. He is based primarily in NYC and has done theater from the critically acclaimed Kill Move Paradise at the National Black Theater to his more widely known roles as TJ in Snugs House and Kalief Browder in The Kalief Browder Story.
