CHECK OUT OUR WEBSITE: www.squarerootz.netSquare Rootz is a lifestyle and media collective formed by three Street Beating friends who have joined forces to bring you the world. Tired of the same ole, same ole, we’ve created a space to inform, expose and connect people of the African Diaspora through dynamic events and provocative media. Our mission is to stimulate genuine curiosity and a passion for living amongst our readers. The features on our site are people, places and events we’ve experienced and loved. We share them with you here in hopes that you will experience, love and make them your own. As Official Street Beaters, we invite you to join us as we discover and explore all that awaits us under the radar!
Jessica Jones
Jessica Jones. Growing up Jessica always wanted to be a novelist. Unfortunately, that dream was thwarted in middle school when she realized she didn’t have the attention span to work on one story for a prolonged period of time. To solve the problem, Jessica shifted her career aspirations to journalism. These days, the scribe pens articles about Black culture, health, nutrition, music and fashion for magazines and newspapers like MissBehave, Black Enterprise, Uptown, Vibe.com and The Village Voice. A West Coast native and Brooklyn transplant, Jessica has learned to use journalism as an excuse to be nosey. As a vegetarian health freak who is helplessly addicted to candy (although she’s hoping her current pursuit of a Master’s in Health & Nutrition Sciences will help her kick the habit), she condemns New York for refusing to sell Red Vines (that’s licorice) in any of its bodegas. And no, Twizzlers don’t count.
Kat Noel
If you're ever looking up the word gadabout in Webster's Dictionary (get your vocab up people), you'll find a picture of Kat and all her street beating glory...Well, not really but they definitely should get on it! As a true rolling stone, who believes everyone has a story to tell and never leaves home without paper and pen, she's hoping that Square Rootz is her meal ticket out of the country. But in the meantime and in between time, the native New Yorker is focused on becoming a Jill of all trades and a master of everything by first working on her freelance writing game and saving the world one kid at a time. When you see Kat on the streets don't let her chubby cheeks fool you into getting too close, 'cause with a lethal mix of east coast and West Indian forthright, she'll be sure to tell you about yourself straight with no chaser. No worries, she's not as hard as she'd like to think. Just break the ice by mentioning music or books, especially Celestine Prophecy, and the two of you will be fast friends.
Marly Pierre-Louis
An activist with her fist raised from the womb, Marly has always believed in advocating for the voiceless. Sensitive to the struggles of people across the globe and in her own city, Marly strives to make a difference through volunteer and community involvement. She is a passionate promoter for social justice and equality worldwide. Weaned in Brooklyn, raised in Boston and now residing in Philadelphia, it’s no wonder Marly considers herself a vagabond. The funky fresh budget socialite spends most of her days beating the streets of Illadel. Party planner extraordinaire, she sniffs out a connection at every corner. A passion for words, beats and laughter is why she joined the collective… that and the fact that she’s a shameless lover (read: groupie) of BBoys and DJ’s. If you’re doing something dope in the city, she’ll probably be all up in your mix, asking questions, laughing and partying… so word to the wise:WATCH YO BACK!PHILLY LAUNCHNYC LAUNCH
