Melanated Artists in Performance
I will have discussions with artists of color who are involved in the many aspects of the Fine Arts. I will be talking to professionals, semi-professionals, directors, composers, instrumentalists, dancers, actors, visual artists, singers, and teachers just to name a few. We will be discussing their origins, their current endeavors, goals and future projects; who inspires them and why they continue to do what they do? These stories and experiences need to be shared. What is your story and who will you inspire, uplift, inform and educate to make US better? Join me as I share these experiences and stories.

Lionel Harrell - Music Supervisor for Prince George's County Public Schools
In this episode I talk with Lionel about his music career and experience as a music educator. We discuss his musical background, why he became a teacher, and his transition to becoming the county music supervisor. Who are his musical influences, who inspires him, how he inspires the teachers in the district, and what he does in his free time? We also discuss the importance of music education in public schools as well as what profession he would be interested in if he weren't involved in music education.
