I have been holding this news for months, and I'm happy it is how shareable. Thank you to everyone who has played a role in supporting me, lifting me up, and seeing the potential in me. You do not win this kind of award as an island of 1. #CRCTier2 #BlackScholar #MobaProjects

This melody, Kol Nidrei recalls ever present sorrow of the world & a very tender reminder for compassion, empathy, love & our essential shared experience here on earth. I play itwith images I made of the Hebrew alphabet, a beautiful and mysterious script.
