These moments are iconic to me. When I first witnessed these moments, I had goosebumps, and I could feel the excitement in the air. Throughout conducting the interviews and capturing the content for the first issue of Pure Moves Magazine, I had experiences where I connected to the same energy from those iconic moments. I am proud to share this long-awaited project filled with inspirational stories about men that are artists, content creators, and entrepreneurs who embrace Black and African culture in their work. Each person featured inside this magazine has a love for their practice that is incomparable. They are men with wisdom and work ethic that mirror leaders in the black community. These artists exemplify what it means to make Pure Moves.
