In the interview, we engage in topics such as the inspiration for his projects, his experience with the Phantoms Walk Tour, The Sweet Waters Walk and The Walking the Names tour and also discussed what his future projects will entail. In doing so we touched upon many relevant themes such as legacies of slave ownership, racism, privilege, smugness, and the effectiveness of collaborative walks.
