Craig "The Writer" Stewart is a versatile creative professional renowned for his work as an author, playwright, producer, and podcaster. He is passionate about leveraging his talents to challenge conventional perspectives and spark meaningful conversations on a wide range of topics. As an author, he has penned several books, including memoirs and collections of quotes that often delve into themes of personal growth, social issues, and the transformative power of storytelling.

Stewart's creative ingenuity extends beyond traditional mediums, as evidenced by his foray into the tech space with the innovative mobile app, Say It In a Card. This app reimagines the way we send greetings by offering a diverse selection of traditional and non-traditional cards designed for various occasions and relationships, including breakups, troubled relationships, and words of wisdom. Each card is thoughtfully crafted to be inclusive of all individuals and reflect the complexities of real-life situations.
A Black former employee, Samiyah Gaddy (@Miylifestyle on TikTok), went viral after sharing her unpleasant experiences working at EBIN New York, a hair and beauty product company specializing in Black hair care. In a four-part video series, Gaddy detailed her time as the company's only Black employee, describing feelings of ostracization and instances where her Korean colleagues held side conversations in their native language. She even recounted a troubling work trip to Atlanta where the hotel booked for her was unacceptably unclean.
Social media users found Gaddy's story particularly disturbing given that most of EBIN New York's corporate staff, including CEO John Park, are Korean. This led to widespread online support for Gaddy and calls to boycott the brand. Additionally, other ex-employees have come forward with similar accounts of their experiences.
