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.

Support from her family, her start in economics and shift to music and why music is important to her, and how she turns negatives into positives. She is the founder and creator of Music Matters with JAQ an imaginative way to learn about music for kids through videos, vlogs and animation.
