Do you guys know about Eugene Bullard, the first Black Fighter pilot & ONLY African American pilot to serve in WWI? He ran away from Georgia at 11 yrs and made his way to France, learned German, became a boxer, jazz musician, served in WWII & worked as a French spy against Nazis.

As you honor my father today, please honor my mother, as well. She was the architect of the King Legacy and founder of @TheKingCenter, which she founded less than three months after Daddy died. Without #CorettaScottKing, there would be no #MLKDay. #MLK  #BelovedCommunity

I recorded Amanda Whiting's solo #harp arrangement of Silent Night, and combined it with some Christmas and winter imagery in @Filmora_Editor. 🎄❄ #MadewithFilmora #silentnight #christmasmusic youtu.be/GLYwKe1zuKg

“I’ve never felt less valued and so disrespected as an artist. I want to know, ‘Do you not care if we disappear into thin air?’ ” thanks @washingtonpost for featuring me in this article. #extendpua or let me work to survive! google.com/amp/s/www.washing…

If you’re a woman of many talents and multitudes it’s hard for people to put you into a box. You defy specialization. Your super power lies in your multipotentialite abilities. For so long I was negged for being too many things and felt insecure about my generalist skill set.

Just heard Twins Jazz is closing for good. That was where I started @wwjazzfest because no other venue believed in me. Run by two women— they always created space for us.

There needs to be a word for the panic that surges when one thinks they forgot their mask.

I’m sure many people have said this, but I haven’t seen anything about it. Why isn’t there a set of TV channels available nationwide by September that has school curriculum taught all day with simple scheduling? It would be more accessible than everyone needing a computer + wifi.

Not to put too fine a point on things, but if I study the music where my dad's from (Central Europe), I'm doing "musicology" and if I study the music where my mom's from (India), I'm doing "ethnomusicology."

It's become very clear at this point, that there are entire categories of businesses that are basically screwed for an indefinite period of time: nightclubs, music venues, theatres or any kind come to mind. There's gotta be a specific rescue package for them or they're gone.

What does a mask do? Blocks respiratory droplets coming from your mouth and throat. Two simple demos: First, I sneezed, sang, talked & coughed toward an agar culture plate with or without a mask. Bacteria colonies show where droplets landed. A mask blocks virtually all of them.

I’ve been enjoying the app @dialupdotcom. It places you on phone calls with random strangers. I’ve met a jazz musician, a biologist, other photographers, a nursing student with 10 wild roommates, & on. Some I clicked with, some I didn’t. Adds color to the day
