This piece, this lesson, is ever so necessary in an era where, we, who come from urban communities, are still fighting structural racism, police brutality, economic genocide while simultaneously fighting the ways in which we self-destruct, destroy one another, and create chaos in our communities. It is a critique of the system of our oppression and a critique of the dysfunctions in our own families, relationships, and communities. It is brilliant that a young mind such as Fidel's has been blessed with the conscious and creative spirit that allows him to compose a lesson from a perspective and in a way that no other could. Raw Wounds is sung in pitches and frequencies that invokes the emotion. It is a bittersweet song. -Dr. Zoe Spencer, Associate Professor in the Department of Sociology and Criminal Justice at Virginia State University","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50381356695825,"sku":"CIN1542373654G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51035971748113,"sku":"NIN9781542373654","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1542373654.jpg?v=1751341125"},{"product_id":"asperous-artistry-book-kondwani-fidel-9781515330745","title":"Asperous Artistry","description":"Kondwani Fidel is a writer, spoken word artist, and speaker who the City Paper calls A Poet Laureate.
