The best stop yet? 👀
Detroit showed up READY to engage and party with a purpose.
The LIVE performance by Teedra Moses brought us to our feet with a collective moment of joy!
@globalblackeconomicforum President Alphonso David broke it down to us why we should all care about the Voting Rights Act and the impact of our power when we fight back with our vote.
We also had Takema Robinson, Executive Producer of The Perfect Neighbor, and Co-Founder of Standing In The Gap Fund, speak truth to power about why storytelling is essential to the movement.
On this stop, Building Power at the Intersections: Rebuilding Our Communities After Harm, featured panelists: Kenya Parham SPILL (
@spillmob ), Dr. Mosley, Founder & CEO of the Playbook (
@playbook_mentalhealth ), Tameka Ramsey-Brown, convener of Black Women’s Roundtable-Metro Detroit (
@bwrmetrodetroit ), moderated by Monica Simpson, Executive Director of SisterSong
With
@djcriskeyz on the 1’s and 2’s
at the Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit (
@mocadetroit ), the conversation about mental health, community healing, and rebuilding our communities moved many people into power and action. This is the impact. This is the Road To Essence.
📌Next stop, we’re running it back to L.A. on June 6th. If you were there last year, you know the conversation was profound, and the performance was joyous. Same movement. Bigger footprint.
