What happens when hip-hop meets community building?
In this episode of Keepin’ It Cleveland, we sit down with the founder of Refresh Collective and the artist behind Rust Belt City a Cleveland-born album 15 years in the making.

We talk about the intersection of music, youth mentorship, and neighborhood trust. The album is more than tracks — it’s a reflection of lived experience, lessons learned, and the power of storytelling as a way to build bridges.
From Glenville porches to local classrooms, this episode is a tribute to the city, its culture, and the currency of trust that holds it all together.

In this episode of Keepin’ It Cleveland, I sit down with Nobles Darby IV. A father, mentor, and the team chaplain for the Cleveland Browns, Cavs, and Cleveland Charge.

Nobles opens up about his personal journey through identity, insecurity, and learning to walk in God's calling. Now serving youth through FCA (Fellowship of Christian Athletes), he shares what it means to live with purpose and how to show up for others with humility and strength.

This is a raw and reflective conversation about legacy, manhood, and faith in action.

Black women face some of the highest infant mortality and maternal death rates in the country. But one organization is changing the narrative.

In this episode of Keepin’ It Cleveland, host Isaac Williams talks with Jazmine Long, President & CEO of Birthing Beautiful Communities, about building a freestanding birth center led by and for Black women, the first of its kind in Ohio.

This conversation explores the deep roots of racial disparity in healthcare, the importance of community based care, and the unapologetic leadership it takes to build something that outlives you.

This isn’t just birth work. It’s legacy work.
