Welcome to NEW WAKANDA! Where we talk Black Creativity and Life from The ATL
From May 2020, we recorded this episode while Atlanta was under curfew, and the deaths of George Floyd and Ahmad Aubrey still fresh in the news. Little could we realize that the protests of Atlanta would reach the CNN building and the subsequent death of Rayshard Brooks would put our town yet again into the center of racial unrest and be a focal point of the global movement Black Lives Matter.
We lament how hard it is to concentrate not just on our art, but on our existence. And how now, more than ever, the world needs our art.
So how do we make this work for us? We hear that these are injustices, but justice seems far away from the conversations we hear.
This may be our best episode yet, as we gave ourselves license to express our frustrations, and what we want to see change in the laws and politics that govern us all.
