Let your curiosity drive you and your passions. Listen as I tell my story of where I started and how I am taking music education into another realm. Sometimes what we perceive as a failure is a doorway to growth and new opportunities. https://t.co/UMeKsi8t9C

Thank you Arizona Music Educators for the invitation to share mindful-based social emotional drumming with your teachers. I had an amazing time and loved hearing how everyone’s identity, agency, and belonging was illuminated through rhythmic music creation. @artsedsel

Everyone is welcome to our drum circles and drumming PlayShops. We created this diagram to illustrate the spaces in the circle that are accessible to all. There are spaces to enter and exit that can be navigated by everyone. And, the venues will be easily accessed. No stairs.

I am grateful for my teachers in Guinea who taught me to play the djembe. Today’s solo djembe practice brought back memories and reminded me of the importance of music passed on through the generations. It reminded me of the purpose & cultural identity connected w/ the music. ❤️
