The Bold Colors of Change: Cbabi Bayoc’s Visionary Art for Black Liberation

Send us Fan MailHost - Sean Tory (@theestoryofseantory )Guest -  Cbabi Bayoc ( @cbabi) Cbabi Bayoc, a celebrated artist with roots deep in the culture, opens up about how his art became a lifeline—both for himself and for his community—after the killing of Mike Brown in 2014. Known for designing iconic album covers for industry giants like Chris Lighty, Bayoc's work took on a new purpose: using bold colors and emotion-driven expressionism to speak truth to power. He reflects on the weight of creating art that confronts over-criminalization and uplifts the beauty of Black fatherhood. With the discipline of an athlete and the heart of a healer, Bayoc mentors youth in St. Louis, showing them that their creativity holds value and power. From community murals to having his work displayed at Prince’s Paisley Park, Bayoc’s journey is a powerful reminder that art can heal, resist, and transform.#CbabiBayoc, #BlackFatherhood, #ArtAsActivism, #MikeBrownLegacy, #StLouisArtists, #PrincePaisleyPark, #CommunityHealing, #YouthEmpowerment, #BlackArtMatters, #OverCriminalization, #FergusonArt, #CreativeResistance, #BlackCreatives, #ArtHealsSupport the show
