APA New York presents Saying the Loud Parts Out Loud! A talk about being your most authentic self with Cornell Watson.
Have you ever walked into a space and realized that there isn't a single person in the room that looks like you? Did you change the way you spoke to fit in? Did you decide not to eat certain foods to avoid a stereotype? Did you hide pieces of who you were to make others feel comfortable? I've done this my entire life, because this is what you do to survive as a Black person in America. I'm excited to be speaking with you on March 11th about my journey of becoming my most authentic self and how it's been impactful for my art, my photography, my business, and most importantly for me personally. Come thru and be inspired to say your loud parts out loud.
