Thank you to filmmaker @monear.shaer for having me on your Twitch channel GazaIsOurHome last Friday. we will listen to EMERGENCE in its entirety during part II of the interview this Friday! Check out the album before or live with us on Twitch! And also thank you to @aaw_artistsatwork for making my bio accessible and available online!
“Before I had the words to articulate feelings, there was music… I didn’t know how much it was benefitting my mental health because I didn’t have the vocabulary at the time.”
@dsmsounds instructor @raphiquebarakat talked to us about the impact both the guitar and oud had on his mental health, and how music empowers us to approach the world with empathy and grace.
A special thanks to the Michigan Arts and Culture Council’s grant that helped make this event possible and for supporting the arts and public health.
Recently a friend told me this video encouraged them to show up more in their own life so I revisited the clip and it stands at over 3 million viewers! What a nice event that had a nice and positive outcome online! #innerchildhealing #detroit
