Wayland "X" Coleman
Wayland "X" Coleman is an artist, activist, and organizer. Wayland was born in Birmingham, Alabama, on January 18, 1978. In order to escape the poverty of the south, his family moved to Worcester, Massachusetts in 1988. At age 11, he was given a one-year scholarship to the Worcester Art Museum, because of drawings he had created as a child. While he attended the Art Museum, he was introduced to hustling in the streets. At the age of 13, he became a member of the Leicester Satellite Drum and Bugle Corp, where he played the trumpet for two years. You can learn more about Wayland's activism through the Deeper than Water Coalition, on their website and Facebook page. Wayland is a former student of the Boston University Empowering Song course. At the time of writing, Wayland is incarcerated.
