An Exclusive look into the Mind behind the MOON
UltraLight
Edward Madongorere is the creative mind behind the
MOON UltraLight, which is a highly advanced and
sleek light for your phone or most any tech product
with a camera. I got to sit down with him via Zoom,
and was able to ask him a couple questions about his
creative process, influences, and more about the
MOON UltraLight.
Were you African raised? Tell us a lit t le m ore
about your fam ily life and how t hat influenced
who you?ve becom e.
Edward Madongorere: To a degree, my parents are
both of African descent and my family heritage is
Southern African in Zimbabwe. Wasn?t raised per se
that way, But I had an opportunity when I was
younger to actually go live in Zimbabwe and go to
school there when I was a young adult, and that was
pretty trans-formative.
So would you say you?ve spent m ore of your t im e
in Am erica wit h t he parent al influence of your
root s in Sout hern Africa?
6
EM: My parents to a degree were very Americanized,
so my mom is western educated and traveled the
world actually working as a flight attendant for major
airlines, so she traveled all over the world when I was
a kid, and my dad worked in government so he
traveled a lot too. I really had a multicultural
upbringing; I grew up in New York City, so that was
pretty much the melting pot. I was around twelve
years old and had a chance to go to Zimbabwe for the
first time; it was important for me to go because I sort
of knew there was a little bit more to who I was, and I
felt disconnected from it. Having that opportunity
really changed my perspective on everything.
Why are you so passionat e about t ech?
EM: This sort of ties into my upbringing? I love
design more than anything; I love tech. I just love the
whole idea of design; in fact, I actually got accepted to
attend a design school in California when I was out of
high school, and I couldn?t afford to go. At the time,
my parents had split up before then, and my mom
wasn?t really in a financial decision to send me to
school.
But I always had a passion for design, and that got
me into music, and every time I needed to fix a
problem, I?d use design tools that my friend would
teach me how to use. I always had a reason to learn
something, and after I learned it, it became part of
the core values of who I was. And because I still loved
to design, I was just always designing whether it was
websites or user interfaces, but I love gadgets and
tech. I used to buy all kinds of tech gadgets, so I
always had a keen eye for design. So when Apple was
really taking off, that became my gold standard; I was
very impressed by what Steve Jobs and his team did
with Apple. When you think about it, it was so
monumental when you think about the level of
design that was put into it, and that always stuck with
me. When the idea for the MoonLight came about, I
used all those certain chops I had learned over time.
Was t here ever a specific t im e like wit h Apple?s
?rise t o power ? in which you t hought , ?hey, I could
t ot ally do t hat ??
EM: I didn?t even think I could do it to be honest, it
was more of serendipity. So when I had the idea for
MOON, I had already been a cinematographer, I?d
been a designer, I?d worked in the corporate world
(Cisco) where we did a lot of video conferencing, and
form all that, I learned so much about tech in general.
But for me, my goal was just to continue to design
and film; I never intend to make a product. When the
idea hit though, it just made me say, ?wait a minute, I
Continued..
should make this product.? I knew I actually had the
skills to pull this off and I knew enough about myself
and lack of ability, to know I personally wasn?t going
to be able to make the product. However, going back
to Steve Jobs, he didn?t per se make the products, but
he did envision the products and where to go, and I
knew I could potentially do the same thing.
EM: I just knew that to do it I had to find my team,
my ?Wozniak? so to speak, and I was lucky enough
that I did find somebody was able to partner with me
as my co-founder. So, it took a lot of my creativity
and my understanding of video and lighting and all
those things I learned over time, and then my
co-founder bringing all of his skills in making physical
products? we just became an unstoppable force.
The first design that we had was the actual product
we ended up making. We agreed on the size and we
were committed to doing everything we could to
accommodate that vision.
What set s your product apart from t he various
ot her t ypes of selfie light s, like t he Selfie Ring? Or
one of t hose phone cases t hat have light s built
int o t heir perim et ers?
EM: I?m a creator first; I love to create content. As I
was thinking about not only the consumer, but how I
would like to use it. I didn?t want it to be stuck in a
place that was just for my phone. Selfies are great,
they?re limiting. If you get one of the selfie rings then
you can just use it for selfies, and similar products are
also really bulky, and for you to pull that out in an
environment where you want to create content, it
almost limits you from doing anything because you
feel so self conscious of holding this giant light in
public to create content.
Size was a discretionary thing, we wanted people to
not have that anxiety of being embarrassed to take
out this huge light for one picture. So size is definitely
one of the biggest things that sets us apart from
other products; nothing is as small as we are.
And further than that, it had to look and feel like
something you wouldn?t be embarrassed to carry
around. Similar to when Beats by Dre came out and
people started wearing them as badges of honor
more than they were using them as headphones. It
was because it wasn?t an embarrassing or bulky pair
of headphones to put on your head or carry around,
and so it became a fashion trend. Our goal was to
create a product that you could have on your phone
and it would be a casual thing where more people
could create the content they want and be like, ?hey I
have a MOON UltraLight on my phone,? and it can
almost become part of your identity, similar to Beats.
Our product also really lets you get the lighting just
right. The precision with which the lighting
adjustment options is complexity unique to our
product. You can manipulate the light size and
dimness all the way down to the color tone of the
actual light. This is again, really important because
when you are going out with friends you?ll see
everyone is unique in their tone and complexion, and
so we wanted to accommodate every single person
so they may have a good photo? especially in the
tricky situations of group photos. You want to be able
to easily capture the moment.
Many of t he product s one can find on am azon in
t he wider sphere of phone cam era light s, are
priced at an average of $25 dollars or lower, yet
t he MOON Ult raLight is priced at $60. How would
you explain t he higher price t o som eone in t he
m arket for a det achable phone light ? Do you
t hink it would be a det errent t o t hose in t he
m arket as t he uninit iat ed?
EM: When you think about the level of our product,
the consumers are paying for the highest of quality
because we use the best material, best metals, best
engineers, along with everything right down to the
unboxing experience. Also, we spend almost $1000
on our cell phones that can take these amazing
pictures in the right lighting, however, that lighting is
not very precise or of high quality. SO if you?re going
to spend all of this money on a quality phone, the
picture quality should be great as well. The MOON
UltraLight gives you an opportunity to experience
lighting technology with the same level of
craftsmanship as your smartphone.
All of those things considered, the fact that we
actually back up our products with technical support
unlike some of the cheaper lights you can find on the
internet, is a big part of our experience.
They say necessit y is t he fat her of invent ion, so
what problem , if any did you set out t o solve wit h
t he invent ion of t his product ?
EM: It was actually an ?ah-ha? moment in real life.
Our youngest son is autistic and when we found out
he had autism, our life mantra became to capture as
many moments as possible because we knew one
day everything was going to click for him, and the
main question would be how did he get here?
wherever ?here? was in life. At the time my agency
was the biggest thing and when my son is older he?s
going to ask ?how did you do all this??, and especially
as a young black kid seeing a guy come up and build
something, it was very important for me to be able to
tell that story for him. Capturing content and
moments became our entire life? didn?t matter
where we were, we were always taking photos.
One night, we were in a particularly dim restaurant
and my wife was trying to take a picture of us and it
just wasn?t working out, and I was super frustrated
and she was super frustrated and in that moment
she challenged me, ?You know what you?re the
cinematographer. You know light. Why don?t you
come up with something?? With the combination of
my ego and my desire to just be able to eat already, I
just decided to try something for that moment. I
literally just took two phones and held them together
back to back while I took the picture with one, using
the flashlight in it as a light and took the selfie of us.
She was blown away, and I was semi-blown away,
but I was kinda like ?Of course. Lighting solves this
problem.? It was just sort of inherent to me; it wasn?t
until this couple two tables away from us tried the
same thing a few minutes later, where I realized my
wife had a point and maybe I was supposed to solve
this problem.
What advice would you give t o invent ive people?
Those who have vision and need for people t o
believe in som et hing t hat is yet t o exist .
EM: You just have to get up and do it. You need to
believe in it so much that everyone around you just
cannot deny the belief. Don?t take doubt to heart in
fact, take in feedback and pocket it to mine for
potential fixes to future problems. Not all feedback is
gold, but it is some of the best ways to improve.
You need to be willing to sacrifice. It?s not going to be
an easy road and you?re going to have to make some
sacrifices, meaning you?re going to have to sacrifice
your time, maybe even friendships (hopefully not),
but you will have to sacrifice something? you have to
be okay with that.
Some of the best ideas I?ve ever had came from
people who were ?hating? on the product. Really
internalize the criticism; that is how you solve all of
the potential problems with it.
If everyone around you and on your team think you
and the product are the greatest thing in the world
and it?s brilliant and genius and only saying positive
things, then you?re surrounding yourself with the
wrong people on your team. You need people who
can actually bring reality to the project.
Where do you see t his going in t he next few
years?
EM: A global brand. Definitely. MOON is going to
excel in all things content creation, especially lighting.
I want to be able to create products that make visual
content creation much more accessible while still
maintaining the quality of many professional
creators.
Are t here any ot her product s com ing from t he
MOON brand t hat you're able t o current ly
disclose?
EM: I can?t disclose yet, but I can say one of them is
going to be pretty awesome as an accessor to the
UltraLight, and the other one is actually the next
generation of the MOON UltraLight.
I can?t really share the details (I wish I could) but I?ll
tell you this: all I can say is? no wait? as a creative it
is something that I am personally excited about, as I
have been creating content with my mobile phone
lately, and using smaller point and shoot cameras
lately. That?s all I can really say but when I can
disclose more information I?ll definitely let you guys
know.
Where can people find your product ?

HOUSING
Now, do not judge me for that statement. Please. Growing
up in that time I understood less about my black culture and
wanted what my parents wanted, to get out of it. They
wanted me to live in what they deemed a safer
neighborhood with better schools. My parent?s idea of
success was achieving the same dream as George Jefferson.
To move on up.
I give you this back story so you will understand that when I
looked out the window riding through Charlotte all I saw was
poverty because I had been taught to believe that all black
communities equaled poverty. I made a silent vow that I
would never move my family to the south because I wanted
better for them. Too ignorant then to understand how I was
myself being classist within my own ethnicity because I had
no idea how my parents ideal of success was a detrimental
narrative that impacted my thought process. I was a part of
the circle that perpetuates gentrification because I had been
raised to devalue my own culture.
When you do not recognize the beauty and pride within your
own culture, when you are raised to think that what others
have is always better, it is hard to place or keep value within.
Taking it one step further, when other cultures teach that our
culture has no value and then further suppresses our
economic value thru unhealthy and discriminatory policies,
we never want what we have. It creates what I call ?The
Jefferson?s Complex?, the idea within our race that to achieve
success I must move out of my minority community instead
of investing in it. To utterly understand gentrification which
later leads to an affordable housing crisis, we must first
understand the mentality that exist within lower income
communities that ?out is better?. We must address and
acknowledge our role in the gentrification process and
educate ourselves to create changes within our municipals.
Only I didn?t, until recently, understand that.
Although I had vowed never to move here, in 2009, after the
death of my mom and experiencing some financial setbacks I
found myself moving to Charlotte. Chasing the same dream
as my parents, I was looking for a place where I could afford
to raise my family in a diverse community. Now in the long
run, moving to Charlotte has been one of the best decisions I
have ever made. However, being totally transparent, at that
time I moved to the Queen City my motives were less than
admirable. I could not afford to live anywhere in Maryland
or DC that was not majority minority and I did not want that.
I had a child with special needs and the school system of the
county I lived in was underfunded and could not support his
needs. Again, I also subscribed to the theory that placing my
children in diverse schools and neighborhoods created a
better opportunity for their lives. When instead I should
have been taking stock in how I could use my life to improve
the community around me. I should have reinvested in the
areas I fought so hard to leave.
CONTINUED...
Let me just come right out and say it, being an all minority
community does not mean it is inherently bad. An all-white
community does not mean a community is any more safe
than a brown one. If we, as other black and brown people,
do not begin to move back into our communities, we will not
have communities to move back into. We will continue to
perpetuate the lie that was fed to most of us as children. I do
not blame the generations before for my current thought
process. I blame the racist system that led to this thought
process in the first place. All people are created equal, but if
we don?t believe we are equal to the next we will never solve
the problems that plague us.
So now I ask the question back to you. How do we stop the
false narrative taught to us from previous generations that
success equals moving out of our neighborhoods? How do
we fight against societal norms and show the next
generation that black and brown areas are worthy of staying
in?
Reinvestment in our own communities is one of the keys to
solving the affordable housing crisis that gentrification
creates. Our community cannot be pushed out of our
neighborhoods if we realize the true value and worth of our
own communities. We must work to identify ways to assist
our neighbors in maintaining and repairing homes, so we
don?t have to depend on others to revitalize them. By
bringing in programs that teach financial literacy we can
create a mindset of prosperity for the next generation that
will generate resources to support the needs of the
community. We can reduce and eliminate most crimes by
providing education, job skills training and mentoring to
those most at risk. All these things can help us fight an
inherently racist system designed to devalue our homes and
decrease our personal wealth.
Together, we must keep a seat at the table by placing
ourselves in a financial position to hold down our own areas
to prevent them from becoming colonized. We must do this
task, not with the thought of keeping other races out. When
we see the true beauty in ourselves, there is no need to
covet, feel inferior of want what others have. Being black, or
brown does not automatically place a person in a lower
social class. On a larger scale it is as much about social
classes as it is about races. Separate is not equal. Separating
people by race effectively separates people by social class.
Our goal must be to responsibly integrate and promote
communities where people of all income levels are valued
and can thrive together.
True economic change starts at home.

Former Charlotte Mayoral
Candidate, Joel Odom, Takes
On CLT City Council
Written By Sydney Torcellini
Joel Odom
At the young age of 21, Joel Odom has already become a well-respected
community activist, led the charge of many rallies, and even ran for mayor. The
accomplishments Odom has made are incredible enough for anyone's lifetime,
but he's done it all at the young age of 21. His most recent endeavors are filing a
complaint against the Charlotte councilman, Malcolm Graham, for a lack of
transparency and speaking at NAACP March For Justice this past weekend. He
accused Graham of not disclosing to the public that he sits on the Grants
Committee for the United Way Central for the Carolina. This is a conflict of interest
because Beds for Kids, an organization that Councilman Graham is Executive
Director of, received twenty-five thousand dollars from a grant that was voted on
by the Grants Committee for United Way. While speaking to Level 21 about this
matter Odom stated that he believes there needs to be an audit done so that the
public knows for sure what the money was used for. Joel said, "Whether he likes
me or not I am still a citizen of Charlotte and the citizens have the right to know
what?s going on."
Q: You ran for Mayor as t he youngest person in our cit y t o do so. What
encouraged you t o t ake t hat leap?
What encouraged me to take on the challenge of running for mayor at such a
young age was seeing the death and carelessness of many citizens of Charlotte?s
lives. Our local leaders are more concerned and worried about re-election and
their interests with nonprofits and private businesses than the people of
Charlotte.
Q: How is your perspect ive different as a Gen Z/Millennial t han our m ayoral
candidat es from older generat ions?
NAACP - Corin Mack
I think the older generation and the younger generation have to come together.
We have to value both perspectives to better the systems that be and work on
creating a more robust America. I do value history and my elders, but I also value
my peers at the same time. Everyone has different problems. My peer?s issue
would be with housing, car payments, loans, and preparing for a family. My
elderly peer?s issues would be health care, medicine, and paying for property
taxes. The issues are different but they?re also the same because one day the
younger generation will be where the older generation is so we have to take care
of both generations, it?s not all about one.
Q: Are you looking t o run for anot her office in Charlot t e?
At the current moment, I?m just focused on bettering the city of Charlotte and
making sure that this is the place where I want to live and my family wants to live.
So, at the current moment no I am not focused on running.
Q: What are t he m ost im port ant issues t hat local
polit icians in Charlot t e need t o address in your
opinion?
One would be corruption. We need to weed out the
people that are taking money from the city. Not only
taking money but they are prioritizing their private
interest over the wellbeing of the citizens. Not only
corruption but we have to prioritize affordable housing,
and we have to prioritize maintaining communities, not
just Southpark, Ballantyne, and Myers Park but we also
have to prioritize areas like Mallard Creek.
Q: What changes would you like t o see be m ade t o
Charlot t e in t he next 5-10 years?
One thing I would like to see in Charlotte is affordable
housing. I would also like to see tent city be taken down
not just moved somewhere else, if they are moved they
should be moved into homes. I want to see taxes
lowered and sustained for the elderly. I want to see
young people getting paid a liveable wage. Even though
they might be starting at Mcdonalds or Burger King, they
should still be able to live off that salary for a certain
amount of years before they have to move on to the next
stage in their life. A lot of people don?t value entry-level
positions, but people need to understand that those
positions are available so that students will be able to
pay off some debt while they?re in school. I think
everyone should get paid a liveable wage and to have
good healthcare.
Q: What m akes you so passionat e about change?
I don?t know, I think it?s in my blood. So many people tell
me that I?m unique and that I have a calling and I kind of
downplay myself and say If I can do it I know they can do
it. My passion comes from seeing other leaders like Dr.
Martin Luther King, Arthra Franklin, Maxine Waters, and
Nina Simone, and all the other leaders that came before.
They weren?t focused on money, they were focused on
bettering this country for their children and their
grandchildren. That?s where I get my passion from. I go
back and I think about the slaves that were put on those
ships and traveled across the Atlantic. I think about all
the people who put up a fight so that I could live and
push so that other people could get their rights and have
their rights in this country.
Q: What was it like for you growing up, do you t hink
t hat t he way you were raised or cert ain t hings in
your life growing up affect ed how you feel polit ically
and your passion?
I have seen reality. I had the pleasure of not only seeing
what was going on from TV or seeing just what people
want us to see. It?s not just some fairy tale. I got to see
people, older people, that were renting homes for
almost 50-60 years, and all of a sudden they were told to
move out. I?ve seen violence, I?ve seen communities
come together, community engagement. I?ve seen a
plethora of different motivations and genres in the
Charlotte community. My family has been in Charlotte
for over a hundred years. My great grandmother, Vera
she?s now 82, helped raise me with the help of my
grandmother because my mother passed away. I might
be 21, but I have the history and the wisdom of a
100-year-old.
Q: How did you end up finding out about t he m oney
not being used correct ly by cit y officials, and what
does t hat whist le blow m ean for people in t he Cit y of
Charlot t e?
I sit on the board of directors for Generation Nations, a
non-profit that is involved in civic advocacy for the youth,
and so I was looking for different grants and seeing what
type of nonprofit in the Charlotte community get some
type of assistance. I came across the COVID-19 relief on
the United Way Central Carolina website and it listed
$25,000 for Beds For Kids. I thought that was kind of
strange because it is Malcolm Graham?s nonprofit but
he?s also on the grant committe. So he sits on the very
committe that approved giving him $25,000. I went to
Brian Collier, the Executive Vice President of the
Foundation for the Carolinas, and he told me that the
million dollars they received were spent in the first 3
weeks. He also said that the million dollars went under
the shelter and housing department. As I told Mr. Collier
over the phone, I said you know that?s where Malcolm
Graham?s program falls under. That just says to me that
these people assume they can do what they want to do
and get away with almost embezzling from the city and
nothing is going to happen to them. Also, It says a lot to
me that this rich man can contact me the day after I file
an ethics complaint and talk to me about the
transactions of the Foundation of the Carolinas but
Malcolm Graham has been receiving phone calls and
emails from me going back to early July about the
Beatties Ford Road Massacre and he can?t even get with
me. That says a lot about him and his character and how
he feels about the people of Charlotte. Whether he likes
me or not I am still a citizen of Charlotte and the citizens
have the right to know what?s going on. They need to do
an audit of this money. What did he get this money for
and on top of that where did he spend it? Did he spend it
or did it go to his salary? After doing a little bit more
digging I found out that the RNC committe donated over
900 pieces of furniture to Beds For Kids and last time I
checked the RNC was under a contract with the city. I did
not know that you could donate to employees of the city
while they?re in office. That puts the city in a place of
vulnerability when it comes to bribery, extortion, and
corruption.
Q: You spoke at t he NAACP March For Just ice t his past
weekend, what was t he inspirat ion behind your speech
and poem ?Never Forget ?
I wrote the poem ?Never Forget? a couple of months ago
when one of my friends was killed. I was reminiscing on
history and what was going on in Charlotte. The poem
inspired me to touch and connect to all of my ancestors.
Some people ask how I prepare for a speech and I usually
don?t. I might write a speech out but usually, when I start
speaking it comes out natural. Before I go on, I do what Dr.
Angelou said ?Call up all your ancestors, all your leaders
and take them with you? and that?s what I do. I love the
passion for speaking and motivating people. I take on the
life force of leaders that have come before me and I try to
do my best to impress them.
Q: What are som e ways you plan on encouraging t he
people of Charlot t e t o vot e?
On my social media platforms, I share voting information
and voting registration. I am also a part of BPC and they
have a Get Out To Vote Committee that I take part in. We
would normally knock on doors, which is something we
VOTE
can?t do right now, but I did at one point knock on doors,
send out letters, and try to get people to register to vote
wherever I was and just make people aware. One thing
that?s happening in Charlotte that I shared on my social
media is the 2020 Voter Workshop. It?s a program that
teaches people about civics 101 and how local government
works. I put that on my social media pages just to remind
people that there is no shame in not knowing, the shame
comes in when you admit you?re ignorant yet you?re not
taking the steps to educate yourself.
Q: Are you planning on speaking at any upcom ing
rallies?
I am planning a memorial service with the county
commissioner, Vilma Leake, for the people that were
murdered in the Beatties Ford Road Massacre. So I am
coordinating with Westside leaders, and churches to figure
out how we can pull this off for not only the families but the
citizens at Beatties Ford.
