Our youth group at BootUp were exposed to key issues of Black life such as the injustices of capitalism, the differences between national and international values through controlled exposure, recalling some of Wey’s experiences as a Nigerian immigrant and how they shaped his views of the American society; all complex issues that were portrayed were through his own perspective of art.
