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.
