My best friend and partner
@wyattgallery who also happens to be co-founder of
@forfreedoms interviewed me for the FFTV Election Day takeover of
@moca yesterday to share some more about my billboard “Mokos Stand Tall” currently installed in Atlanta, Georgia for the nationwide For Freedoms
#The2020Awakening Billboard campaign in partnership with
@thisisunfinished &
@orange_barrel_media

In addition to the myriad of ways that I believe our Caribbean culture can be a healing in this collectively traumatic moment in history, I wanted to mention (and forgot to say) that the word “Moko” means healer in its original central African language. Perhaps subconsciously I chose to channel this powerful symbol from our carnival vernacular because there is nothing that seems more needed in this moment than a healing. And I believe that when we are our most authentic Caribbean selves, we bring healing to the world in spades!
