Avery explains that the group's name derives from "Negus," the Amharic word for king or ruler, emphasizing their connection to history and nature.
Hogg reflects on his experience, stating, "Beyond the cars, beyond the bills, beyond the hustle, I am of the birds and the bees... the squirrels and seeds," highlighting his deep connection to nature.
Avery shares that the collective's success rests not on numbers, but on how people assist each other genuinely, stressing that help can come before hitting rock bottom.
The group started in 2020 during the racial reckoning, initially with 13 people, and has grown to over 22,000 followers on Instagram.
