Daveed Diggs
Stories For Freedom
I actually don't have time to not tell stories that mean something
I'm raising black children
We're in a climactic age of climate change
And we're being hunted
So I don't have time to like tell- use words for fun
You know what I'm sayin'?
So all these things find themselves at a particular intersection where rhythm kind of feels like an organic tool I wanna connect to
I wanna use my body to engage that rhythm
And I wanna be on a political pulse, if not on the metronome of a musical pulse
And that's the kind of artist that I am
Someone that maybe does- not just tell stories
But tells stories in service of freedom
