]]> 3D Na'Tee Zimmerman Ever since the news of Zimmerman‘s acquittal was released late last Saturday night, uproar has been spreading like wildfire. Citizens nationwide are marching in protest, and celebrities are taking to social media sites to express their disillusionment with the verdict and to support Trayvon Martin‘s family and friends. Just hours ago, 3D Na’Tee uploaded the self-directed/edited video “Dear Mr. Zimmerman,” reflecting on her own family. In the description below, she says, “As people blacked out their Instagram defaults and took to Twitter in rage, I quietly looked at my brothers. Josh is 22, 5’6″, with long flowing dreadlocks. John is 21, a few inches taller than Josh, with a low cut, a beard, and piercing black eyes. To me they are just my baby brothers and my best friends, but after hearing the verdict on yesterday I realized that Josh (who’s studying to become a school teacher) and John (who has plans on opening his own business soon) may very well look like murderers to some. Not because of their actions but because of a few things that they can not change: their age, gender, and ethnicity.” In the final seconds of the video, 3D Na’Tee presents some very powerful visual juxtapositions; she shows a few instances of the same man wearing different clothing, addressing the issue and fallibility of appearance-based prejudice.

Dear Mr Zimmerman

The New Orleans emcee is quick on her feet creatively, which explains her mounting success in the digital music industry; 3D Na’Tee, will be joining forces with Russell Simmons to create content for Mr. Simmons’ new YouTube channel, All Def Digital.
