More Than Resistance: a Heart-to-Heart with Fred Edwards Jr.
Mon May 26 2025
In this raw, heartfelt conversation, I sit down with Fred Edwards Jr., an artist, activist, and community builder whose work transforms grief into purpose and resistance into healing.
From organizing grassroots movements to creating powerful, soul-stirring art, Fred shares his journey of turning pain into something deeply restorative. We talk about:
• How art became his weapon and sanctuary
• Building community in places designed to erase us
• Healing through connection, culture, and creativity
• The weight of being a Black man in a world that often misunderstands our brilliance
• How we can all be architects of liberation—right where we stand
This is more than a conversation—it’s a blueprint for what it means to heal ourselves and our communities.
