Before we black the city out for St. Joseph night, let's honor a legend! Big Chief ZeeBo of Black Osceolas has been a Black Masking Indian for 15 yrs. Zee Bo has work his way through the ranks starting as Flag Boy, to Gang Flag and then was promoted to 2nd Chief before deservingly earning and being newly appointed as Big Chief of his own tribe, Black Osceolas. 🪡 Big Chief Zee Bo has drawn inspiration from exotic animals, using intentional color palettes to convey specific moods for each creature. His artistic journey is a profound fusion of heritage, personal history, and deep-rooted connections to thematic elements. 🪶 Celebrating the Culture of Black Masking Indians! Celebrating Big Chief Zee Bo of Black Osceolas!! @blackosceolas • See y'all for St. Joe!
