Joy as Resistance: Wayne Watts Raps Decompression for Revolutionaries
Wayne Watts is a man of letters, but he is also an educator and activist. “I wanted to make music for revolutionaries to decompress to. While you’re fighting these things it’s really essential to remember to breathe.” The power of his dedication to words lies in the myriad of ways in which he employs them. “They’re filled up with a lot of manifestations and affirmations,” he said. “I treat my mantras like songs.” As an educator, Watts co-founded the Dream Create Inspire Tour. “The intention has always been to create an incubator to give disenfranchised creators a platform.”
