It’s been a great pleasure to be invited back to NineWorlds 2018 and to talk about the Black Panther soundtrack for the ‘Who is Wakandan? Representation in Black Panther’ panel earlier this month! There was literally too much to discuss and we barely scratched the surface of what the soundtrack contributed to the Black experience and identity. In this article, I sum up my audio notes from various sources (mostly from interviews) and to make these sources easily find-able.

Note that I do not have any Black heritage, so I cannot comment on the Black experience. Any opinions/input expressed comes from my own personal experience/background.

I hope you enjoy my notes and that these bring a deeper understanding to the impact this film and soundtrack has on Black representation in film/media in general!
