NEW CLIENT ANNOUNCEMENT!
Join Us In Welcoming The Documentary Film ROOTED
to the AKILA WORKSONGS Roster of Esteemed Clients!
Faced with the lack of fresh produce in a South Carolina food desert, GERMAINE JENKINS dedicated ten years of her life to creating an urban farm on an empty city lot. ROOTED embarks on an captivating journey featuring this Black Femme Farmer, a mother-of-two, who is resolute in her quest to own the land she farms. A sharecropping legacy looms over the story line as Germaine navigates Southern government, well-intention nonprofits, and the realities of becoming a community leader.

Flashback: Calling All Hip Hop Heads!
The African Voices historic issue, Hip Hop at 50: Where Do We Go From Here?, has arrived! I'm happy to share that I'm one of 63 contributors in this special edition, guest edited by the prolific writer Kevin Powell (a 2024 #GRAMMY nominee for Best Spoken Word Poetry Album).
Four generations of writers contributed to this "must-read" work. You've never read hip hop like this! Congratulations to Carolyn Butts (African Voices founder) and Kevin for a great collabo.
I'd love to know your thoughts! Email me. ENJOY!
~ April
