west you know my tribe is very

3:58

small and said that name

4:00

important it's important that those

4:02

people see that and recognize that and

4:04

so i changed my last next nine months

4:08

i want to piggyback on that

4:10

the new york times had a really

4:13

great article profile on

4:15

you case ah

4:17

than some of the things that you talked about has

4:20

unearthed i guess the fire conversations about

4:22

my black is better than your black and house

4:25

sometimes were very divided in

4:27

edo american and canadian

4:30

from canadian island africa us when

4:32

we should all comes together and

4:34

you said something

4:35

the that i'd love for you to talk more about

4:37

you said

4:39

the different help you doable site

4:41

is incalculable how much the world loses

4:43

every day by intentionally excluding

4:46

africa whether it's in the creative

4:48

endeavors or the sciences which is

4:50

sad because it's the world's

4:52

loss which is so true

4:55

he the taco a little bit more about that and

4:57

hugging implement that feeling that thought

4:59

that creativity your were

5:02

absolutely i mean at the way

5:04

i looked at it in

5:06

august do the math for second you know the

5:08

current news about one point three billion it

5:11

as a significant south of his played

5:14

i will be at the dashboard they

5:16

were pushed me to build shelters

5:18

only seven billion people on this planet

5:21

we're close to one third eat enemy

5:23

give or take pride of this of

5:25

this world where an animal

5:28

i find it really odd imagine

5:32

if one third of your body day songs

5:35

you know be like you can operate

5:38

that's how the world operates everyday without

5:41

even blinking nobody goes i've

5:43

never seen an african movie made by an african

5:46

and it's fun it uses

5:48

it keeps going nobody stands

5:50

to see if i don't know you know

5:52

and african sciences and it's former

5:55

we just keep going steady going

5:57

steady again as i just found it odd that if

5:59

is a

5:59

the world this

6:01

the neck mean it and

6:03

how we lean on each other we all have something

6:05

offer the all that of the traits are bad

6:08

traits it's it's odd to me

6:10

that there's so little interest

6:12

but also let's not forget the continent burst all

6:14

of this anyway self self

6:16

so is this how are we forgetting

6:20

that such a critical part of

6:22

our you know i'm

6:24

amalgam as human beings is being

6:26

excluded and i've never understood that as

6:29

an answer to the average

6:31

american culture of holding it

6:33

the it'll some sort of mansell you

6:36

know if for very long time and of you can see now

6:38

we're all kind of the dissipating and a discourse

6:41

related story without

6:43

a doubt in terms of this loud voice at

6:46

least in the last you , thirty

6:48

forty fifty years had just going

6:50

missing culturally waste of

6:52

i'd be that you know the media

6:55

monopoly exists year and said you could stand

6:57

on it in the whole world of here you bet

6:59

against you bet succeeded feeling diner

7:02

here public enemy for the first time

7:05

be seen them at all what we knew to be

7:07

true and public and actually visiting

7:09

dot and that i yeah no we no

7:11

we back to show us that visit

7:14

was so the transformational

7:16

just but not for me before several

7:19

people who are looking for something

7:22

the stand on it and hip hop culture was

7:24

that thing

7:25

ah

7:27

when you say

7:29

african average you movies made by

7:31

africans how important is that you because

7:34

there are movies that like

7:36

that i saw

7:37

was growing up that were that were so

7:40

place on the continent and another they were

7:42

directed by africans auto did read about black

7:44

people i don't know what your rebates

7:47

i'm not sure how much

7:49

africa by averages are

7:51

consumed in media besides

7:54

was really bored all with with with

7:56

k n n n o

7:59

the burnable

7:59

florida davidow that

8:02

sabadell so i'm not sure how much i've actually consume

8:04

what what does that look like what is that where's

8:06

that so first that the waters

8:08

about some for second so

8:12

sounds have been

8:14

skyn nominee i think about five

8:17

six of them for best foreign

8:19

picture i'm those

8:23

almost one hundred percent of them have

8:25

been made by not africa

8:27

right in a few to who have

8:29

one

8:30

get your peers who went to

8:32

ask the make movies as again

8:34

as you know i i i found it off

8:37

i found it odd because they have no other

8:39

people you don't have their

8:41

story he told by others at

8:43

such a rate there again if it was once

8:46

the you want for me it looked i guess

8:48

yes he bled for when we're talking ninety

8:50

percent of what you've consumed you

8:53

know ns wire and i'm so grateful

8:55

for this time because wait

8:57

and see live in in of

9:00

the reality that with hopeful for

9:02

a long time that we will actually

9:05

have added get to the means of production

9:08

create to work as we see it again,

9:11

right or wrong that's how i see it and

9:13

it'll be more truthful in terms of my take

9:15

on it and someone who is voyeuristic,

9:18

you know someone who is on the outside,

9:20

go in what is liverpool still pick

9:22

and select and i feel like fine

9:25

getting to that where if you look at netflix,

9:27

picking up a lot of asking films

9:29

now know, a quality

9:32

found, a lot of the the music that's been consumed

9:34

globally is is africans

9:36

made by africa on the continent exporting

9:39

again we grew up being bombarded

9:42

by the war of you know what i mean just

9:45

now that we're like okay well let's

9:47

have let's have in a dialogue

9:50

it's not going to be a monologue any more where

9:52

we are over there just accepting of

9:54

receiving we're going to have something

9:56

to say because that for me if i will grow

9:58

as as as a as no as

10:00

a species

10:02

right reality see the i was

10:04

18:56

to choose to

18:58

we imagine as a call it a rematch

19:00

which is not a retailer that a remake

19:03

august with we imagination and

19:05

when that starts from first book such

19:07

as we start first what was left out because

19:10

it as such as well as you

19:12

know about movies that sort of amount

19:14

of books even items

19:16

so much you can take by is it still so

19:18

much story that is with in

19:20

the book that you know we explore

19:23

further in in this versus tulsa

19:25

musical and he knows

19:27

you know i come from music you know that that

19:30

but my love and respect for

19:32

black music nuts is certainly in

19:34

the americas but globally and how they're

19:36

evolves man like some economists

19:39

and made gonna tell ikea know

19:41

the states to bats in bats car live

19:44

like that is circle for means but

19:46

given an opportunist splashing america music

19:49

specifically from the black

19:51

hole the blues jazz said

19:54

it appeared everything else as we

19:56

know it there was no popular music in the world

19:59

without that music that struggles

20:01

and i have in a way you can align

20:03

seeley story with the evolution

20:06

of an american

20:08

music it's that you know it is it's

20:10

it's it's look that is degraded

20:13

with the war can't live without you know i mean

20:15

and that's what happens with seats but i will see

20:17

the wonder when people ask me what's different for

20:19

one thing i will say said

20:21

in ah sources see we have

20:23

an imagination if

20:25

you don't know how i love for must love

20:28

to play with that world wide

20:30

web sites

20:32

though

20:33

sit there and out

20:35

there are no nobody deals

20:37

with from without have

20:41

an approach how most wouldn't exploring

20:43

for tell my because the get as words

20:46

popular and will you find us into sale

20:49

on climate the my to

20:51

in a creative energy is so fertile

20:53

based on the suppression the we faced

20:55

over time and seeley

20:58

has dealt with all of this

21:00

suppresses and so her mind because the first

21:02

place was to go to mean every

21:05

mean every that she's dealing with something

21:07

we can go there so so she's not just caught

21:09

in

21:11

because everything is this

21:13

when you put an abuser and at it and

21:15

if someone has abused on the same platform you've already

21:17

given the abuser power right

21:20

because there is no such thing as an equal

21:22

footing with the abused and it in producer

21:24

com at as and personally

21:27

the way i view would ultimately

21:29

is that given seeley and imagination

21:33

ultimately allowed for

21:35

who

21:36

i'll have been passed her abuser because

21:39

we were men horrible at a we

21:41

wouldn't navigating worked for house he's

21:43

dealing with for a beach but i think

21:45

that's a huge difference

21:47

i mean and people will i really

21:50

believe people connected it's version based

21:52

solely on the focal point you know i

21:54

mean it goes really deep

21:56

in her mind is beautiful and she grows

21:58

as he sighs to fit how to navigate

22:01

mr how to navigate sure how

22:03

to navigate the you know sophia

22:05

harpo it's a it's a fence aspects

22:08

are you close new as as

22:10

as he says i see it then in

22:12

incredible we imagine

22:15

if that i really hope people come in open minded

22:17

and be rather be blown way as really

22:20

22:23

i always talk about this quote on

as a toy morrissey clothes she says i

26:09

stood on the board is that an edge claim

26:12

this central force the was more with wow was

26:14

26:17

a you can't lose on the edge

26:19

impact you can't lose

26:21

an egg going into this film

26:24

you know the were expect teachers that it'll mirror the

26:26

original their expectations and i was very

26:28

adamant about saying

26:31

know if it's done already you don't have

26:33

to do

26:34

it out there remember their audiences will never

26:36

seen

26:37

can only say assumed

26:39

everybody of course seen

26:41

as i perceive us as let me with this is going to be

26:43

their color purple patreon how difficult

26:46

as a half effective image has affected the or

26:48

out the in overheads we know it already

is else or another was have seen a stage play as

26:53

order to was it only read the book is

a there are multiple ways and and

26:57

for it i was very adamant that this is gonna

26:59

be mine it was gonna be

27:02

ours has put it that way i was going to mirror

27:04

how we think it's it was going to marry how

27:06

we see the world because again remember is

27:08

nineteen eighty like when the
