A yogi was so moved after watching 'Black Panther' he created Wakanda yoga

When Artis Smith, a Virginia-based yoga instructor, went to see Black Panther at the cinema, he came away feeling something he hadn’t felt before at the end of a movie—pride. 

That feeling didn’t go away, so he decided to combine his fandom for Black Panther with his work as a yoga instructor. He created Wakanda yoga.

Smith, who identifies as mixed race, says he has always struggled with his identity for much of his life because of the way people of colour are represented by the media. “Because of the way the media portrayed black people and Africa made me ashamed to be black,” says Smith.
