## Resource

From the stages of Def Comedy Jam to the silver screen in Poetic Justice, Joe Torry has long been a pillar of Black excellence in entertainment. In a recent conversation with Houston’s Madd Hatta, the legendary comedian reflected on his historic roots while unveiling his next major move: Soul TV. Rather than waiting for Hollywood’s permission, Torry is launching his own free streaming platform this April, featuring over 1,500 titles and fresh stand-up specials. By prioritizing community ownership and independent storytelling, Torry is proving that his legacy isn't just about 90s nostalgia—it’s about building a digital empire for the next generation.
