2020 is shaping up to be a motherf*cker. you can quote me on that. the pando. the devastating vacuum of federal leadership. the ongoing devaluing of lives of color. we hold space for despair, anger, depression, paralysis. do whatever you need to do to keep those feelings moving. because in the ebb and flow, there's space for action, energy, hope and community to grow too.

today, at the end of a trying week, i offer this momentary respite. it took a pandemic for me to make my first music video in 7 years!! click below to watch.
"The Escape" is also available today on Bandcamp, iTunes, Apple Music, Amazon & Spotify. if you enjoy this little kiss of a song, i would love it if you would share it.
