At the CSO, she was instrumental in expanding the organization’s reach through strategic initiatives that connected the orchestra with the Greater Cincinnati community through collaborative programming with community organizations and leaders, neighborhood councils and other arts and cultural leaders. Through her leadership she helped the CSO more than double attendance of Black and Latino/e audience members at events through programs such as the CSO Brady Block Parties Series, the MAC Music Innovator Program and Classical Roots.

The community has always played a major role in my life. I can’t remember a time when community didn’t somehow shape the vibrancy and fabric of my world. Whether through sports, arts and culture, faith based communities, neighborhood connections or just random strangers who soon become friends-community is the thread that helps shape identity, creates moments of belonging, and provides pathways for healing in an often disconnected and disjointed world. Community is the key that opens the door to our collective healing and resiliency. As the African philosophy of Ubuntu ascribes, “I am because we are.” So, if we want to see change in our world, we have to start by taking a look at our relationship to community.
