Essence Fest Didn’t Hire Me…yet
Written by Aloysius “Lo” Ballard
I didn't get hired by Essence Festival this year and as much as I hated not being on the media team it still taught me something. Creatives often desire to work with the platforms that inspire, challenge, and develop us. Essence Fest definitely checks all three boxes in my life. The 2022 festival was like a family reunion amongst the African-American community as we had been held prisoner by a virus that swept over the entire world.
My friends were selected and given opportunities to work with brands and companies that often open doors throughout the remaining year. I simply wanted to join them by creating/documenting this amazing event. Check out this visual that speaks to my experience of when one door closes you fight to enter another. Here's some of the footage that I capture with the intention of making 2022 my last year of not being on the Essence Festival Media Team. Do me a favor and tag them in the comments below so that we can get this done and manifested!!

Essence Festival XXII
The Essence Festival, known as "the party with a purpose", is an annual music festival which started in 1995 as a one-time event to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Essence, a magazine aimed primarily towards African-American women. It became the largest African-American culture and music event in the United States. (Wikipedia)
The festival covers black culture, food, expos, activations, music, concerts, artistry, and so much more. We wanted to share a glimpse into some of the moments documented during #EssenceFest22
