Here's a glimpse of #nokings in Chicago. Spent the day exercising our freedom of speech and right to peacefully protest w/a record-breaking number of like-minded America lovers, all hired to pose as potentially dangerous terrorist threats #Chicago #peacefulprotest

Chicago showed TF up peacefully in such a big, beautiful way in solidarity for our shared love of the promise, and potential of America. And I felt this small, but unwavering warmth that I can only describe as hope. #nokings #peacefulprotest #Chicago #hope

I'm so grateful to the Chicago Sun-Times Sunday edition for featuring my story by Mark Guarino.
Proud to make history with Amanda N. Ewing by becoming the first officially recognized violin commission between two professional Black women in the U.S. Important time to document these achievements.

Gonna miss this exceptional human here. Dave Cygan was one of the biggest music lovers and supporters around, and his generosity is a gift for which I'm forever grateful. He had my back and believed in me from the start of our long friendship. My love, prayers, and deepest sympathy to his family. 💔🙏🏾

I sent an open letter to my alma mater U of M expressing my disgust and disappointment at their recent capitulation to fascism by rolling back all diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives. This decision has a ripple effect far beyond your knee-jerk cowardice, and time will reveal this damage.
