Thinkin’ For A change

Thinkin’ For A Change (TFAC) is a lettering series that explores the documented stories of injustice, inequality, police brutality and racial violence towards people of African descent in music.

This series started with mostly quotes from rap music and has expanded to African activists, poets, and historical figures. Rap music holds a lot of truth about the injustices, inequalities, and police brutality that African Americans face on a daily basis. But because rap was initially deemed violent, gang related, and unpatriotic when it first emerged, most people till this day condemn the music without really listening to find the truths.

TFAC is a call to action for people of African descent to take action, speak their truths, practice self discipline, and take ownership of our position in this game of life. Understand that we’ve always been free, and we aren’t fighting for our freedom but the right to equal opportunities. 

“energy and persistence conquers all”

TFAC challenges you to disrupt your current thought process, think critically before condemning a specific group, and acknowledge the struggles & beauty in the stories of all people of African descent. My hope is that this series will help educate, challenge and inspire behaviors that encourage actions that unite. It’s time we recognize the truth in our struggle and rise up in the face of adversity, injustice, and police brutality.
