#A2OPremieres :: #BlackLivesMatter has resurfaced with unprecedented vigour, shaking the foundations of our generation and streaming a flood of resources and knowledge on black ontology, black economics, and black thought leaders of past and present. Among the foundational voices of the movement is Opal Tometi (@opalayo), a Nigerian-American human rights activist, who premieres the visuals for ‘Diaspora Rising: Beyond African Liberation Day’. Shot by acclaimed filmmaker Wael Gozly (@waelgzoly), Tometi’s ‘Beyond African Liberation Day’ is symbolically captured in the heart of Accra Ghana during the 2019 Year of Return festivities, an initiative intended to encourage African diasporans to settle and invest in the continent.
