Cervanté Pope

Cervanté Pope is a music and culture journalist currently based in Los Angeles. While she normally writes about metal and hip-hop, her cultural pieces have explored various facets of the Black experience, while questioning society’s part in all of them. On top of her professional explorations into the subject matter, her educational studies involved much of the same. Her intersectional identities have made the many injustices and inconsistencies in the world extra apparent, which is part of what drove her desire to be a part of this Curationist project. As an incredibly curious person, her thirst for knowledge has led her down many roads of research. When she’s not trying to figure out the mechanisms behind the world’s many ills, she spends a great deal of time caring for animals, as well as tending to plants and staying connected to nature. She hopes that her work with Curationist will lead to many more opportunities both within the organization as well as on a larger scale, in regard to sharing information and correcting what history got so incredibly wrong. Or, as much of it as she can at least.
