Video Description

Jim's studio: https://www.instagram.com/mindbridgemedia/ https://www.mindbridgemedia.com Meet Jim. He’s from America but has been living in Serbia for four years. As a professional musician, he has visited every continent except Antarctica. Here in Serbia, he runs a music studio and occasionally performs as a percussionist. He shared why, if it weren’t for Serbia, he might not be alive, the hidden truth about being a Black person in America, and what he sees as the biggest challenge facing Serbia in the near future.
