On September 1st 2019, we welcomed M1 of dead prez, renowned for his powerful political voice and commitment to social justice, wellness, and wholeness—for a conversation about the broader impact of hip hop. Hosted and moderated by Mitchell Esajas of The Black Archives and Simone Zeefuik, the discussion explored power dynamics, claiming space, and the importance of ownership. This PowerTalk was presented as part of a special double bill in collaboration with The Black Archives and Patta.
