My Foundations
Origin
In this life, I am a Bajan and Cape Verdean-American man, born and raised in Boston, MA. My personality type aligns most with the traits of a Logician (INTP-T); my Top 5 CliftonStrengths are Futurism, Empathy, Connectedness, Adaptability and Ideation. I've been blessed to be able to travel in and out of the United States from a young age so I was raised with an appreciation of the world's best, most unifying qualities. Gaps in education, age/experience, humility, and wisdom have left us culturally and socially vulnerable. Although social media has helped bridge those gaps in recent years, I believe it is because of the global pandemic that it has even become possible to isolate us this much further.
Mission
To build a circular economic standard that radiates from the multicultural indigenous communities living in Eastern Massachusetts to the rest of the country and beyond.
Shock Value is about intergenerational education, appreciation and social solidarity through various forms of storytelling for the longevity of Earth-based peoples and cultures.
Experience
My interests include but are not limited to creative writing, science, music, astronomy, food, the supernatural and all things influenced by Black indigenous peoples in human sociopolitical history. The preservation of this knowledge is the essence of Shock Value.
