Capturing Moments, Telling Stories
We believe that every moment is a story waiting to be told. Our passion is to capture those stories through the lens, of preserving memories, emotions, and experiences in stunning photographs and cinematic videos.
Our Story
Part town hall, part variety show, yet ruggedly intellectual, Uppity is a monthly interactive convening of writers, artists, thinkers, politicians, comedians, professionals and, most importantly: you – for an irreverent exploration of arts, culture and politics. All deep fried in unapologetic highbrow Blackness.
Designed to challenge perception and champion free speech in a unique, warm and in places comedic and taboo-free manner, Uppity will make us all laugh, learn and come together to better understand each other and the world around us.
Uppity™️ is founded by the writer, broadcaster, satirist and former banker, Nels Abbey (author of Think Like A White Man and The Hip-Hop MBA).
