At the core of every musician and creative is the need to be wanted, loved, and accepted by the masses.

But when you’re shaping a brand that will stick to your tribe like glue, you must weave in that all-important element of exclusivity.

Everyone is not your fan — and shouldn’t be. Build your “Ride or Die” tribe that rocks solid with you, and never look back.

Mindset Isn’t Just a Thing—It’s Everything.

You don’t just show people who you are—you teach them how to treat you.

With your thoughts.
With your words.
With your presence.

Every sentence you speak is either driving you to greatness or dragging you into mediocrity.

Average or Extraordinary? That decision is made daily—with your mouth and your mindset.

So, what’s your take? Agree or Disagree? Let’s talk in the comments.

Zakiyyah is an artist-activist who utilizes music and visual media to explore themes that centralize marginalized communities via her production company, Black and Bold Productions.

As an actress and classically-trained singer who is well-versed in Opera, Hip-Hop, Jazz, and R&B, she employs her extremely versatile skill-set to reach a broad range of audiences and craft a sound that is uniquely her own--including her most well-known, "Hip-Hopera".

She’s had the pleasure of bringing these sounds to numerous audiences from the House of Blues to more recently, the United Nations. After graduating from Wellesley College with a degree in Political Science and Sociology, she worked in politics for City Councilor Tito Jackson and later Suffolk County Sheriff Steven Tompkins. During her time there she created D.A.S.H. (Defensive Aids in Situations of Help); a women’s self-defense program that travels throughout Boston and neighboring cities.

She also serves as a trustee for the Free for All Concert Fund, an organization charged with providing the necessary funding to make classical music accessible to the masses. She shares this honor with former Massachusetts Governor Mike Dukakis, Senator Sonia Chang-Diaz, and other dignitaries.

After departing from politics, Zakiyyah still remained civically engaged, serving as an elected delegate at the 2016 Democratic National Convention. She then spent a year pursuing her artistic and scholastic ambitions in the Czech Republic, Thailand, South Africa, and Colombia, hosting Black Lives Matter events in the latter two countries and even recording with Grammy-nominated group Explosión Negra.

She also has a commitment to education, having worked as an administrator at Conservatory Lab Charter School, offering private voice training via Harvard’s Holden Voice Program and the Hamilton Garrett Music and Arts Academy, and even creating an arts-activism program for teens in 2020 entitled “Creative Revolution”.
