BLACK LOVE, COME AND GET SOME
I was blessed again to participate in the BLACK LOVE EXPERIENCE in DC. I was part of the panel BLACK TO THE FUTURE: INSIDE SHURI'S LAB PANEL
The Black Love Experience (BLE): Using an Afrofuturistic lens, this panel will look at literature, film, music, and graphic design that centers Black people and cultural themes. Panelists included yours truly Tewodross Melchishua Williams, Jennifer White-Johnson, DJ and music connoiseur Jamil Hamilton (DJ Jahsonic), paranormal fantasy writer L. Penelope and moderated by Risikat Okedeyi of Lil SoSo.
About BLE Originating from the masterminds behind Nubian Hueman, The Black Love Experience is a conglomerate of artistry and inventiveness geared towards creatives, revolutionaries, kindred souls, and fearless visionaries celebrating ourselves under the canopy of all things Black. This event connects the vibrant creative community of the Washington DC Metro Area and beyond, through expressions of music, art, wellness, and creative commerce, but most of all it's good vibes and togetherness. To contain it under the guise of a party, pop-up, concert, or gathering of any kind would be an understatement. A portion of our proceeds go towards organizations and schools in our local community.
