Black Cultures Intersect: The Power of the Talking Drum

Melody Capote is the Executive Director of the Caribbean Cultural Center African Diaspora Institute (CCCADI). In this episode, Melody shared that arts, music, dance, and sacred practices are all forms of cultural expression that unite us as Black people. If we look at the drum, for example, and its many uses, we see the intersectionality of traditions and practices that unite us. Visual and musical forms of storytelling provide understanding and they are the traditional language of Black people. Self-preservation and personal activism is one way we as Black people can strengthen confidence, and extend the olive branch.
