Words Matter Pod w/ Akil Pinnock

In part two of last week's episode, producer of Yusef Hawkins: Storm Over Brooklyn, director of Digging for Weldon Irvine, and co-owner of Legacy Vinyl Boutique in Brooklyn, NY, Victorious De Costa speaks about how losing five of his friends to suicide was a factor in creating Digging for Weldon Irvine, eliminating the stigma of seeking out mental health resources, artists not only needing inspiration to create but needing inspiration to live, and wanting to show the tenacity of black people at the time after Yusef Hawkins' murder by white teenagers.
