Activism and Storytelling

In this moving first installment of a two-part conversation, host Dr. RaShall Brackney sits down with Selah Avery and Sam Peezy to explore how art becomes activism—and how storytelling can preserve powerful legacies like that of civil rights icon Medgar Evers. From film to music to community engagement, this episode dives into the emotional responsibility of honoring Black stories, the creative process behind socially conscious art, and the enduring need to educate future generations. Selah and Sam share their personal artistic journeys, reflect on the challenges of truth-telling through their crafts, and reveal the passion behind their current and future projects.
