Hi Everyone!

Hey Everybody! My name is Imani and I am your host for Beatz Community Podcast. I am a lawyer, artist, mindfulness advocate, writer and “breath of fresh air from tha’ South.”

 

For as long as I can remember, music, art, and literature have always provided me with comfort and inspiration. As a child, my home was filled with sounds of jazz, r&b, classical, and soul music. I traveled to London, Paris, and Versaille to sing Motown hits with my elementary school choir. I learned how to read music and play the piano and saxophone. I read books and poems to transport me to places unknown. I doodled in the margins of my school notes (during high school, college, and law school) because the tantalizing swirls and patterns helped me focus on the instructions. Creating and appreciating others' creativity has always felt like second nature.

 

That is why I am so thrilled to build a community of passionate musicians, artists and creatives, and share their voices and work with the world. We create our art because something within us compels us. When we share our art, we have the power to ignite a fire within others and inspire them in unimaginable ways.

 

I hope you join us on this journey and discover just what you need–whatever that may be–along the way.
