Juneteenth has joined the marketing moments when brands get to commercialize a moment rooted in difficult truths and pain for those the day seeks to honor. Days off and national recognition AINT nothing without reparations and systemic change for Black people! ✊🏾 @meldcole used his talent to be of service to protestors during riots taking place in America from August 2020 - August 2021! The images are powerful and relevant giving the times - when anguish meets despair - And his booK, American Protest gives voice to the tired! ✊🏾 Mel joined me on @whosoncontent to discuss his work and why we must honor the past in order to appreciate the future! ✊🏾 Hoping this Juneteenth keeps the necessary discussions going! ✊🏾 #WhosOnContent #MelDCole #BeastBehindtheLens #BlackMen #TellingBlackStories #AmericanJustice #DoingtheHardThings
