As an educator and as an artist, I want to express my wholehearted commitment to the Black Lives Matter movement and to supporting artists and singers of colour in my studio and in my life.

I’ve assigned myself the task of researching, learning and listening. I’ve taken some time over the last few weeks to really, truly consider my own unconscious racism and bias. Where did I learn if from? How did I perpetuate it? What does it look like now? How can I unlearn it?
