Show Notes
- 8:09 I'd like to do a documentary film on South African women jazz artists.
- 10:52 They weren't paid what they were supposed to get paid and stranded. And so they had to make do.
- 20:32 I need to see myself as having colleagues that look like me, have students that look like me, we all need representation.
- 24:27 I would always say never give up, stick to your plan, be determined. Just when you think you're about to fail, that's when you're going to succeed.
- 27:22 I had met Harriet Tubman, Sojourner Truth, Martin Luther King, Malcolm X, everybody.
