The Black Privilege Podcast

"We Had 50 Followers and Still Sold Out" | R&B Brunch Atlanta Founders on Building From Nothing

Saundae Service (Saundae Rowe) and Kristina Webb — the women behind R&B Brunch Atlanta — sit down with the Black Privilege Podcast to talk about building a sold-out live music experience from the ground up, navigating a male-dominated industry as Black women, and why authentic community beats a 20K follower count every time. From humble beginnings at Atlanta's Hot Dog Factory to headlining City Winery and expanding to Philly, Nashville, Chicago, and NYC — this is the blueprint nobody handed them. They get into the Mount Rushmore of R&B, what "Black privilege" really means, handling haters, finding undiscovered artists, and what's coming next.

Who Really Belongs on R&B’s Mount Rushmore? ft. Sunnie | Black Privilege Podcast

Thank you to our sponsor realtor Brandee Vaughan: https://www.instagram.com/realtorbrandee/
https://brandeevaughan.kw.com/
🔗 Follow Sunnie: https://www.instagram.com/iiamsunnie/
Willingboro Native Sunnie joins the pod for one of the most polarizing conversations we've had on the show. We get into her journey from singing "New York, New York" at age 3 to building one of the most authentic sounds in independent R&B, what it really means to perform vs. perform for approval, and her upcoming projects. Plus: the R&B Mount Rushmore debate that literally turned heads, the Kanye conversation, which RnB legend is boring and so much more in this loaded episode.
