Bikbaye & Kemit share how the song “Checkin In” manifested!
Once again we are “Checkin In”! Here is more behind the scenes with Bikbaye , Sepka and the cast…check out these bonus shots of the video! Visit our Facebook page Conscious Youth Global Movement and “Check In” with a comment and location!
We are “Checkin In” with more behind the scenes footage of the making of the video. In this clip, our co-director Estela Lopez-Spears give our youth dancers encouragement, positive feedback and critique. It should be noted, that it was not in the plans for Estela to co-direct this video, but after seeing how she naturally connected with the youth (and vice versa) during the entire shoot, without being asked, we were proud to give her the credit that was due for her contribution!
Checkin In from the set of the L.A. video shoot! A great experience for the elders (Bikbaye & Sepka) and the youth Checkin In dancers!

Per Bikbaye, founder of CYGM, ‘Checkin In’ is a song about “reconnecting with the community that served as your foundation as you were growing up. Regardless of where we are from and the circumstances that may have played a part in deciding that environment, we all have a “village” (family, community) that provided us the basic needs for our survival.”
“This song (Checkin In) is a call to heal & assist the development of our communities through ‘conscious’ artistic expression. Our goal is to utilize the content within this track as a platform to inspire the necessary dialogue that leads to individual and communal empowerment.”
“The artists on the track, Sepkanitah & myself, are both cultural activists & healers. The concept is to have other like-minded individuals & artists record a response to ‘Checkin In’, in which they will paint a picture of their communities and what needs to happen for healing to take place.”
An artistic offering from Bikbaye & Sepka! It’s time for all that is good to Check In! Save our youth by preserving our communities!
