Elder speakers: Ilarion Merculieff (Unangan / Aleut), Sobunfu Somé (Dagara, West Africa), Ray Squi Qui Williams (Swinomish, Coastal Salish) and Malidoma Somé (Dagara, West Africa).

Quincy Davis is a dedicated and multi-faceted artist based in Portland, USA utilizing video, music composition, lyricism, and visual storytelling to deliver powerful pieces of art to initiate personal and collective transformation.
Much of his work draws from his experience of being out of a self-destructive lifestyle to find his path. Over ten years ago he committed to sobriety and has walked a path involving traditional earth-based ceremonies of spiritual preparation.
He is the founding member of Seven Vision Studios, a sovereign media production studio, and REBELWISE (Hip-Hop crew/artist collective) producing art intended to uplift our people and our communities with high-caliber, modern-world-fusion music production and cutting-edge, intentional lyricism.
Since 2011, Quincy has been involved in youth education work, visiting High-schools, treatment centers, and lockdown facilities as a speaker, workshop leader, and part-time teacher.
In 2016 he co-founded Cypher CURE utilizing the Hip-Hop cipher for community support and positive expression. Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, he established Voices of Wisdom to serve some of the most vulnerable youth in our community and offer a bridge to elder wisdom. Quincy envisions continuing to collaborate with artists across the world and especially visiting Mongolia to reconnect with his indigenous blood ancestry.
