Bio
Walter Harris Gavin is a former Nationally Syndicated TV Host/Producer of The Gavin & Lott Show which helped introduce the Black Music Video form to audiences nationwide. He's been an advertising executive, independent film & video producer and professional tour guide, author, among other endeavors. Born in Philadelphia, PA, he's lived in various parts of the country on both the east and west coasts, in urban and suburban environments, from the seashore to desert terrains. He has experienced life's highs and lows. After 40 years no longer a wide-eyed 20 something, the vision of bringing unappreciated and novel "human" stories to life from a "black" perspective still burns bright. His motto: Carpe Diem...Don't Sweat the Small Stuff, 'Cause It's All Small Stuff. His Goal: Enlighten, Inform, Entertain & Inspire audiences worldwide. He is the driving force behind Gavin Media NU World, the author of The Autobiography of Obsidian Dumar, a novel and the forthcoming Blackface TV: From Amos ‘n Andy to Empire. Currently in development on a feature documentary, Free Your Mind... Your Ass Will Follow, an examination of how anti-“black” bias still drives popular culture and political discourse despite the push toward greater diversity and the need for different strategies to institute real, positive and lasting change.
