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!!!!!

It is so important at this time to stand up to micro aggressions and misconceptions about our presence in this society. Our right to live and exist and experience joy. To celebrate our existence and our accomplishments.To work together to improve our human experience.

Performance becomes weightless when you surrender to the spirit of the story, to the message you’re transmitting, to becoming the vessel that helps another to understand.

Carry your artistry as delicately as you handle fire. Fire is not fragile it demands your full presence. Your artistry demands the same attention.
