As a lawyer who has worked with young people at the deepest end of our justice system, I have seen firsthand the immense power of music to heal, to validate, and to create spaces of joy. To push back against the deficit-minded labeling of who someone is or what the limits are for what they can choose to do or become.
It is an honor to serve as the Vice Chair of the Board of Directors for Rock to the Future, a Philadelphia-based nonprofit organization that provides high-quality music education and economic empowerment programs at no cost for youth in Philadelphia--including youth incarcerated in the City's jail for children. If you are able, please join me in donating to help us continue providing affirming, life-changing opportunities for young people. Thank you so much!
