Many Rivers to Cross was a social justice music and arts festival ideated by the iconic Harry Belafonte and Sankofa.org, the organization designed to carry on his legacy. I was brought on by Belafonte and Sankofa.org to activate the social justice aspects of the festival, work with the PR and marketing teams, help oversee sponsor activations and solicit opportunities, and work with the on-the-ground production teams. I also created and produced the Many Rivers Town Hall in conjunction with and launching the festival, which was a panel that included performing artist TIP, and where Mr. Belafonte received a “key to the city” by then-mayor Kasim Reed
