In today's #WEIMPACT series we are celebrating an extraordinary individual.
Super heroes do exist and Black Boy Joy is so alive today and I had the privilege and honor to speak to that very person. Let me introduce you to soul rider, visionary, artist, advocate Mr. Dylan Dawkins. Dylan spoke about a community that he is deeply connected to which is surfing. Personally, I enjoy watching surfers catch that wave, it is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. However to see one of me out there hits the sweet spot. There is another side of surfing that shadows the community. To be more specific, systemic racism with in that community. Areas of discussion, representation, deep rooted cultural norms and accessibility. Although surfing doesn't completely define Dylan, this Stanford graduate and as he concludes his graduate studies at Tisch College at NYU, he focuses on building his career in digital art and also creating a black centric theme park. I can't wait to see his career take off! Wow, please do not miss this episode and welcome this King!
