Mixed Talk

In light of what happened at Travis Scott's AstroWorld Festival, we decided to look at the ways we experience festivals and what we think "festival culture" is. We also talk about the events that happened at AstroWorld and how we feel about the situation. 

Please note, some of the content may be upsetting.

We barely scratch the surface when it comes to talking about african hair history, we talk about dreadlocks and its significance within kenyan culture, slavery and the need to follow eurocentric beauty standards.
