honored to be in conversation with my collaborative partner
@artsemerson exploring narrative, music, and the ongoing work of Black liberation..
so much of what I shared connects deeply to the heart of Connecting with our Ancestral Lineages, my creative series — a living exploration of memory, ritual, storytelling, food, and the ways our histories continue to move through us.
I keep thinking about how music carries what archives often cannot: grief, resistance, survival, longing, joy, instruction, prayer. It reminds us that liberation is not only political. it is cultural, spiritual, and deeply embodied.
grateful to be in conversation with brilliant thinkers, artists, and cultural workers such as
@ajatheethnomusicologist and
@lizzycooperdavis #imagining what it means to remember ourselves back into relationship with each other and with our ancestors. ✨🫀 it was so special to have my collaborators in the audience for this conversation including
@ife_franklin_slave_narrative and
@marleneboyette
🎶 “Narrative and Music as Tools of Black Liberation” with
@wgbh Forum Network and
@artsemerson

What does Black liberation mean to you?
I’m working on some really exciting new offerings for Connecting with our Ancestral Lineages, and I’m looking forward to inviting more of you into these conversations, gatherings, and reflections in the months ahead. ✨
