What's up right now?
Last year, Wassup Te won
SIBLEY MEMORIAL HOSPITAL'S
“WARD INFINITY HEALTH INNOVATORS AWARD”
hosted by JOHNS HOPKINS MEDICINE.
By creating a preventive healthcare chemistry set,
“WT CHEMISTRY KIT” helps children better understand the importance of choosing healthier beverage options.
We ALSO created a visionary outline to tell a story compatible with data collected by the CDC, Johns Hopkins and ourselves on the best way to iimmedialty mpact health care in communities like our WARD 8 neighborhood. The data showed the most effective option was to create a health conscious and cultured inspired documentary around the history of sugar and sugary beverages in relation to slavery, capitalsm and its detrimental impact on brown and black communities.

"De'vante is a superbly talented cultural truth-teller, poet and artist. He sees through the surface of things to the beating heart of the issue. He can weaponize a metaphor and sharpen its edge to razor-thin. I am so grateful that he uses his world-changing powers for good. He has a moral true north, forged from a life of active social critique, keen observation, and a well-earned lack of tolerance for nonsense."
Lauren Shweder Biel

His voice can be an asset to any organization fighting for justice and yearning to truly connect with communities who are most impacted."
