There are so many battles we’re facing again as history repeats itself. James Baldwin understood the rage that comes with awareness.

And still, we must find solace. In the divine, in our inner knowing, and in one another.

Black people have always understood the power of movement to connect souls, cultivate empathy, and sustain community.

Sometimes, that connection looks like dancing in the rain.

You care for your people you, tend to culture, you tend to the garden of preservation and celebration, protecting what has been carried forward while making room for what is still becoming.

Masquerade is not a disguise.
It is inheritance worn on the body.
Zaouli’s footwork. The hand-sewn weight of a Black Masking suit. Oku/Olu presence carried out of rupture and resettlement. The Second Line turning a street into an altar.
Different traditions. Different histories. One throughline the body as the place where memory refuses to die.
The mask doesn’t cover who you are. It reveals what still lives in you. Thank you to Kelly White and Big Chief Shaka Zulu, for their contributions.

The surreal montage in this clip and the pulse of the African drum move between the ancestral realm and modern Black art, grounded in African Diasporic dance.

Systemic racism has never been fully addressed. It keeps rearing its ugly face on our timelines and news feeds, almost daily. It is imperative that we are intentional in how we connect our art to the betterment of our people, that we make our art impactful.
Thank you to each, and every artist that participated in the creation of this content.

This is an important repost dedicated to ’R Boom Squad and everyone participated in the filming of this video. One of our pillars at Movin’ Legacy is C³: Consent, Context, Credit. It’s always the goal we’re building toward.

We don’t always land it perfectly. What we will do is keep showing up to fix what we miss.
This is our standard and we’re holding ourselves accountable. If anyone in this video is not tagged, please message.

Koteba, translated as “big snail” (Kote: snail/ ba: big) . As quoted by Osita Okagbue, “Koteba, just like the snail carries its world and experiences around on its back.” (Okagbue,2007).

Just a reminder: Lead with kindness. Treat people with dignity and respect. In the words of Dr. Baba Chuck Davis”The only time we look down on someone is when we’re reaching to help them up.” Thank you to Ousmane Bangoura and the people!!!!!
