Rhymes & Reckonings is more than a performance—it’s a transformative evening that blends live music, storytelling, and community engagement into one immersive experience.
Through a dynamic “TED Talk meets concert” format, Zakiyyah invites audiences into the heart of her debut album African Import, unpacking the stories, truths, and social realities woven into each song.
But the experience doesn’t stop at the stage.
Beyond the music and storytelling, Rhymes & Reckonings centers community action. The stage will also highlight Black-led nonprofits and grassroots organizations doing critical work. These changemakers will share their missions and offer tangible ways for attendees to get involved—from volunteering to advocacy to direct support.
What to Expect
● Live Performances of songs from African Import
● Storytelling & Reflections that unpack the meaning behind the music
● Interactive Audience Moments that invite you into the conversation
● Community Spotlights featuring organizations driving impact
● Activation Spaces to connect, learn, and take action
Why This Experience Matters
Rhymes & Reckonings is rooted in the belief that art can move people—but community moves change. This is a space to not only feel, but to reflect, connect, and leave with a deeper understanding of both the world around you and your role within it.
You won’t just experience the music. You’ll experience the message—and the movement behind it.
