Featured in Juneteenth FolkWorks Article

Azere Wilson reached out to me about an article on Juneteenth she was writing. When I got home this evening, it was great to see that the magazine highlighted me a bit. (The formatting is a little strange on my Mac, so it might be for you, too. Keep scrolling past the empty space and you’ll find me….)

They chose the song, “All Souls Are Free,” that I wrote with Milo Binder/Todd Lawrence. It’s really been a magical song, written out of deep struggle, as good folk songs can be. I’ve loved hearing audiences sing it back to me.

Join us on June 7 as we celebrate an early Juneteenth at the Mary McLeod Bethune (Exposition Park) Branch Library. I just found out that in addition to the writers listed on my show page that Lorinda Hawkins will also be participating! She’s amazing! We did a BackStory on The Color Purple last year and she blew me away!
