KUKWE ISTHMUS FOR LOVE OF (MOTHER) LAND (A JOURNEY WITH JUNIOR SEALY)

A this core, Junior Sealy is an optimist who skips stale armchair theoreticals on race politics to dispense lived narratives of hope, authenticity and kinship. His trademark happy-go-lucky exploration of Afro Caribbean liberation has the beguiling effect of making the jagged and overgrown 500-year-old path he treads backwards look more adventurous than arduous. In fact, Junior's the type that gets lost in the Sahara,only to stumble upon a cool oasis with the most Instagrammable hotel. So, to hear the soft-spoken neo -b ohemian tell it, going from handcrafting artisanal small spaces in Barbados to improvising kingship ruled land negotiations with a Ghanaian village chief is a small matter of slathering on a little extra mosquito repellent.
