I鈥檝e been utilizing music to engage in different contexts, from grassroots organizing to a musician on the stage, a musician in the community, a musician in the classroom, and a musician writing about music and social justice. In all of these ways, I guess, and the ways in which I talk about it and the community work that I鈥檝e been a part of, caught their attention. And here we are.鈥
