After attending Afropunk in Brooklyn, we discuss the drama that occurred there, but most importantly we discuss the festival’s cultural and community impact. We analyze what spaces feel the safest and are the most freeing to us, as well as invite listeners to consider creating their own spaces where self-expression and community can be built. Join us.
