Afropunk Brooklyn 2023 was a celebration of African-American culture and music. The festival featured performances from artists like Joey Bada$$, Tobe Nwigwe, Iniko, and Baby Tate, and a stellar headlining performance from Harlem’s own Teyana Taylor.


Along with the many Afrocentric and culturally worthy performances, there were also amazing vendors and photo ops for your social media to say “Wow” to. With all the star-studded performances, I would definitely have to say the stars of the entire show were the exotic African-inspired fits. There was everything from African prints to no clothes at all with a lot of artistic jewelry to cover up certain body parts of course.



Being surrounded by many African-American creators was one of the many bonuses from the event. I met some of social media’s most inspiring influencers and discussed all things music and the arts that we support. I think we all took some inspiration from the founder of this event, Caroline Wanga. Wanga also made an appearance at the event with her ring leader circus gear in full effect.


Some of the sponsors of the festival include cosmetic brands “LUSH”, “AS I AM”, and “Always Black” just to name a few. Along with sounds by DJ SNS, Stonie Blue, DJ Mohagany, and Wemi. After watching Harlem’s Rose Teyana Taylor tear down the stage, you couldn’t help but want to interact with the rest of your cousins and show love the Brooklyn way.



We had the opportunity to interview one of the performers, Joey Bada$$, backstage and was able to capture some candid moments with the Power star on camera.

Afropunk Brooklyn 2023 was a truly unforgettable experience. I can’t wait to see what they have in store for us next year!
