I've spent a lot of the last year looking at social justice, my own white privilege and unconscious biases, and the state of the world.

I've read, heard, and watched almost everything available on the subject of racism and Black Lives Matter. 

Enough! It's time to do actually do something.

Myself and four  Black alumni of my training programs have created a very special immersion, implementation, and peer-supported training experience for  Black artists and entertainers around the world.

Supporting this project means taking a stand with  Black artists. 100% of your donation goes to education, grants, and hands-on training so their work can be seen, they can be heard, and their art becomes part of the solution.

I’m asking you to support this project - to whatever level you can - and watch the ripples that radiate from your generosity. 

We’ve created a program that will guide Black artists and entertainers through exactly how to be seen and heard - and I strongly believe that their work is fundamental in course-correcting and balancing the radical racial injustices in this country.

We're definitely planning some special behind-the-scenes content as well as interviews, invitations, and updates for all donors. You will be noted in the "Special Thanks" credits. 

Thank you so much,
