June is when we recognize Black Music Month and Juneteenth as powerful moments to celebrate the contributions of Black culture, people, and experience.
With this in mind,
Urbanime – a culture x comics company that creates authentic experiences that empower multicultural audiences through imaginative storytelling – is highlighting the interaction of Black music, culture, and comics with a month-long celebration.
In partnership with Sway’s Universe, Vince Lawrence, Digiwaxx, and The Apollo, Urbanime’s celebration, dubbed, “Our Music. Our Story.” will pay homage to hip-hop, house, the home of Black music, and more through storytelling, creativity, and dialogue.
Urbanime’s Black Music Month celebration includes:
