“When we give power in artistry and creativity to black people and its culture. Then we empower their voices in their resiliency. If the community can’t breathe It will never heal the wounds of oppressed people. A community can not reference its own trauma into wellness until it has a resource to reference to. People can’t grow in traumatic situations that are a continuance poverty, injustices and racial systematic system, and senseless violence. That will be a community tragic demise.” -Rodney O.E.
