“Harriet’s Brim” by Artelia Green is a unique tribute to Harriet Tubman’s journey to freedom, highlighting the unexplored role of fashion in her escape from enslavement. This song moves beyond conventional narratives of slavery, delving into the intricate choices made during quests for freedom and drawing parallels to fashion’s significance in Tubman’s missions. African heritage shines through, with Yoruba phrases echoing in the chorus.

Artelia Green weaves together Frisco swagger, Arkansas roots, and Yoruba remembrances to curate critical thought and action through her music. She merges reverberating funk and gospel-vamping with brass and djembe, inviting listeners to embrace the truth of Black suffering and transcendence. Green’s music aims to craft more accountable and responsive relationships with necessary grief en route to a different time, space, and place.
