Welcome back to the Part 2 interview with Selwyn Seyfu Hinds -- a master creator who developed everything from magazines, to books, to comics, to TV series. If you haven't listened to Part I, do that first otherwise you’ll miss amazing stories like his near-death escape from The Starlite ballroom.
Selwyn's credits are too long to list, but one of his greatest accomplishments was guiding a young, now a legendary journalist Datwon Thomas, during his early years.
He was the right person,
