Xyla’s talk+mix series Let Us Be Us provides guests with a safe space to be introspective, vulnerable, fearless, and revealing without the limitations of outwardly perception. By discussing what our world seems to require of artists, Xyla and LUBU’s featured creatives will dive into what it takes to be Us on an individual level, while coming together to dissect “personal authenticity”: to know how it’s perceived, why it may or may not matter, and how to use it to create a community where we can simply be. Based in San Francisco.
