Bio

Rob Fields is the Founder and Chief Curator of the Festival of the New Black Imagination, a platform for forward-looking, global black culture that launched in 2011. The Festival is a natural outgrowth of the work that he’s been doing on his black alt music and culture blog Boldaslove.us.

What motivates you to become successful?

A belief that a fresh conversation about what blackness means in the 21st century is not only good for black people, but for the country as a whole.
