An Afrikan indigenous-led creative Mycelial network invested in empowering radical storytellers to advance the global landback movement.
Defining “Lakay”
Lakay (“lah-kai”) means home in Kreyol Ayisyen.
“As a culture worker who belongs to an oppressed people my job is to make revolution irresistible.”
-Toni Cade Bambara
With systems of supremacy on the brink of collapse, mainstream cultural institutions are clinging onto power by distracting the masses with bread and circuses while employing AI and other Earth desecrating technology.
We are facing a cultural emergency: we either face mass extinction or mass recovery. And as radical artists making the revolution irresistible, we have the gifts to change the story in our action.
The Time is NOW for a collective of storytellers to create a home (LAKAY) to reclaim our stories of self-determination, and to charge forth in a movement that will liberate our lives alongside Mother Earth.
Lakay Productions offers a myriad of creative services divested from genocide, white supremacy, and all other arms of empire’s capitalist reign. Our multi-powered creative team is committed to telling stories that empower us to build solidarity and reclaim our birthright to live as our Indigenous ancestors taught us.
This team brings together a multidisciplinary range of creative, performance, wellness, and production services available for booking. From writing and design to movement, facilitation, styling, and on-camera/on-stage talent, each team member in our growing mycelium network offers a distinct practice rooted in artistry, care, and collaboration.

Questions we’d like to answer with you
How do we demystify the practice of liberation?
How do we build reciprocal collaborations in to decolonize our relationship to capital and support our communities’ ecosystems?
What tools do we need to create an archive that will survive the times for future ancestors?
By co-creating with everyday artists and creatives – those routinely marginalized despite being a global majority - Lakay Productions redirects energy:
from oppressive narratives into revolutionary truth-telling.
We serve storytellers without a creative home; the global majority who exist at the margins and fight for liberation; and audiences in need of radical educational media that inspires self-determination and keeps us in the know about
