Black Creators Matter!
What is your music affirming? After watching the State VS Billie Holiday movie we were able to see how powerful messages in music can be and the lengths people will go to not allow that impact to happen . Over the year we were blessed with Nina Simone, Bob Marley and even Chance The Rapper that give us positive messages in their music. We've seen amazing Black Lives Mural popping up in cities that give us a message of equality. Art is a part of the movement. Join us as we have a triple header of amazing artist. Starting with rapper Slim Da Wit who uses his Newark upbringing as an inspiration for his eclectic brand of layered Hip Hop, Rap, R&B, Soul, and Funk. His roots in one of the many ghettos of America in combination with his faith are what fuel his notably uplifting and inspiring message based music, a quality that sets him apart from the rest. Then we go over to Patterson NJ with Sir Moore. He is a photographer, Black Lives Matter Patterson organizer, and more. Hi photography has captured some powerful moments during the protest in 2020 that sparked after the death of George Floyd. His photos has made it to major publications and an art gallery at Kean University due to the power that speaks through the images. There's a story to be told through the lens. We get to close out with a beautiful poem by Cindy who goes by LJB Poet. Tiffany reminds us of the power of the pen!
