Byheijja’s project, entitled L.O.V.E J.A.M: Let Our Voices Emerge, a Journey of African-American Music, is a theatrical production encompassing dance, music, and visual art. Showcasing the beauty and contributions of African culture in America, Byheijja will present the struggles and triumphs of African Americans from slavery to the present day. The project’s goal is to educate audiences on the richness of African heritage and show them the importance of preserving that history through the arts. Byheijja hopes to highlight social injustices African Americans still face and encourage them to get involved in their communities.
