Alex Acosta

Alex is an Atlanta-based Cultural Producer who designs and activates immersive experiences and content - virtually and physically. With a strong foundation in visual and oral storytelling, he works in the mediums of documentary film, photography, live events, and freestyle cyphers. Alex’s aim in all projects is to educate, challenge, heal, and amplify black voices and other marginalized populations. In 2012, Alex and four friends created Soul Food Cypher (SFC) - a Non-Profit Organization, that utilizes freestyle rap and lyricism to transform individuals and communities. The highest honor of his work has been developing the potential in young black artists, providing them employment opportunities working in schools, and using Freestyle (improvised) rap as a medium to display their ingenuity, brilliance, and gifts to transform the narratives weaponized against them. Alex has worked with internal and external teams to produce interviews, social video, artist profiles, and other multi-media assets. Central to Alex’s work is an understanding that one’s belief’s shape lives, perspectives, and decisions. Those beliefs shape how we view others and ultimately ourselves. Alex wants to use his talents to elevate the stories of generations to breed empathy, understanding, and respect.
