Though they worked in different mediums, both drew deeply from the same well — the Black church, the original stage and runway of Black expression. Through spirit, rhythm, and ritual, the church shaped their artistry, their sense of self, and their commitment to elevating the Black experience to the realm of the sacred. Their stories run parallel as artistic testaments to how faith, community, and music shaped Black identity and expression in America.
