TRUE LOVES: Young Paris and The Very Black Project at the Brooklyn Museum this Saturday

Young Paris is hosting an evening of talks and workshops at the Brooklyn Museum with The Very Black Project on February 6.

They promise a night of examining ‘the past, present, and future of black radicalism’.

Young Paris can’t be put into a box. He’s not just a musician. He’s a modern-day entrepreneur to his core: he’s remixed Wizkid’s Ojulegba; launched the hashtag #MelaninMonday that’s been used over 50,000 times; and is now holding seminars at the Brooklyn Museum – thousands have already clicked attending on Facebook.

Collaborators The Very Black Project are high achievers too. What started as a humble social campaign created by André D. Singleton and graphic designer Justin Fulton to get black people across the globe appreciating themselves has led to a fashion brand and hugely popular online movement.
