Prelude to a protest

Inspiration from his Imagination (Dennis Edwards Tribute)

This episode takes a whimsical look at the connections between what I consider to be two blackface scandals, one which will undoubtedly go unreported and Amazon messes up again in-between them.

I was honored to give my first commencement address this year to the students in the Homework Program put on by Crestar Health. As everything else has been, this address was delivered on Zoom. Which was also a first as I have never given a social distance speech. In fact, this recording is so authentic, it even comes with someone unknowningly coming off mute and some music playing during my speech 😂

My thoughts the morning of the Black Lives Matter protest on June 6, 2020 Washington, D.C.

This episode revolves around Music that is thoughtful and introspective the artists are often thinking back and reflecting on different times or storytelling in a way that is reminiscent of a time in the past.
