The national arts and empowerment Roadshow, powered by Kwanza Jones’ SUPERCHARGED® platform, arrives in the Mid-South and Gulf South after activating communities across California, the Southwest and Texas, the Mid-Atlantic, and the Southeast.
NASHVILLE, Tenn., June 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As Culture In Motion™ reaches the midpoint of its journey, the national Roadshow founded by cultural architect Kwanza Jones and realized in partnership with The Apollo arrives in the Mid-South and Gulf South, regions whose artistic heritage and creative traditions have helped shape the cultural legacy celebrated on stages like The Apollo for generations.
From Nashville’s global influence in entertainment and creative expression to Memphis’ role in shaping generations of American music, Jackson’s enduring traditions of creativity and resilience, and New Orleans’ contributions to performance, storytelling, and cultural expression, this cultural corridor remains one of the most influential in the nation.
The SUPERCHARGED® Boost Bus™, the Roadshow’s custom mobile cultural hub, serves as a visible expression of Culture In Motion’s commitment to meeting people where they are. As it travels through Nashville, Jackson, Memphis, and New Orleans, the Roadshow will engage local communities while spotlighting the people, places, and traditions that sustain each region’s unique cultural identity.
“One of the most inspiring things we’ve seen throughout this journey is how every community brings its own history, perspective, and creative energy to the experience,” said Kwanza Jones, Founder and Executive Producer of Culture In Motion and Founder of SUPERCHARGED®. “What makes this stop especially meaningful is the opportunity to celebrate not only the music, stories, and traditions that define these communities, but also the people who sustain them.”
The Mid-South and Gulf South stop reflects Culture In Motion’s commitment to celebrating the communities, cultural traditions, and creative voices that continue to shape American culture. By spotlighting the people and stories behind the region’s enduring influence, the Roadshow reinforces the power of culture to connect communities across generations and geographies.
Culture In Motion is supported by the Kwanza Jones & José E. Feliciano Initiative, which advances long-term cultural platforms rooted in access, scale, and community impact.
