What does it mean – and how does it feel – to grow up as a Black artist today?
In this moving and thought-provoking exploration, Kadiatu delves into the realities of navigating the modern world as a young Black creative. Through heartfelt conversations with her extraordinarily talented family, she reflects on the joys, challenges, and pressures that come with expressing one’s identity in an often hostile cultural landscape.
The discussion shines a light on the growing visibility of Black artistry, yet also the persistent backlash it faces — from online abuse to systemic barriers that seek to diminish or dismiss Black voices. It’s an honest portrayal of the courage required to stand firm in one’s truth while pursuing artistic excellence.
Ultimately, Kadiatu offers a message of hope and empowerment, showing that through resilience, community, and unwavering self-belief, a new generation of Black artists can rise above adversity to create, inspire, and redefine the future of art.
