Paradigm shifts are the central part of cultural progression. There is a deeper significance in Black American culture that hasn’t been tapped into yet. Every shift uncovers a new layer of that meaning. There is one happening right now and we should work to see it more clearly for what it is.
This piece is dedicated to the African American experience. It’s stitched together from segments of creations from artists who I feel have captured the essence of what black excellence feels like. It is my personal attempt to capture the beginnings of a more important conversation concerning black excellence in America. This is Black Paradigm.
