Episode 4
In this episode, we are guided by SOSA (aka The Sauce), a soft-spoken sound and music art therapist, who welcomes a new patient for a session. Although the patient arrives full of doubts and anxiety, SOSA uses the power of Black aesthetic sound to offer solace and healing. An entirely FUBU call to the heavens, forever out of reach from the white gaze, this episode does a deep dive to unpack, understand, express, and celebrate the nuanced texture of sound-makers that are committed to Black collective aesthetics.
