このコンテンツについて
Joe Tolbert Jr is an organizer, executive, minister, writer, and commentator whose work and passion lie at the intersection of art, culture, spirituality and social justice.
Joe Tolbert Jr. was born in Knoxville, Tennessee, but had a balanced mix of urban and rural upbringing. His Father's family in Georgia were a tight nit group of people who always gather around Grandma's house. Being out in the country at Grandma's, Joe’s cousins would always want to rouse him by calling him the city cousin. A really nostalgic memory that he shares is; His dad would load him and his siblings up in the car and go on long road trips, spending quality time together.
Leaving Knoxville, to attend graduate school in New York City, then returning to Knoxville, Joe struggles to adjust to the rapid growth of his home town.
He, for a long period of life never considered himself to be Appalachian, until some friends with the
Stay Project, pointed out the fact that he indeed lives in the Appalachia Mountain range. He is now proud to represent a wider understanding of what it means to be Appalachian ( or Affrilachian ).In 2023, Joe Tolbert Jr. was named Waymakers Collective's first Executive Director, driven by his personal belief that art and community can be a powerful force that can create real change.
