Focus On Something Bigger Than Yourself

"I go around as a cultural arts ambassador to different places around the world, bringing people together with music and working with people who are frozen in this chrysalis of pain and trauma from war, refugees, and at risk children, youth, and families who are immobilized in pain, fear, and shock. The way to get to them is not to say, let me talk to you, can you fill out this form. It is about, I see you, I feel you, I hear you, I need you to come back. The way back is through song. I sing to them, they start crying, then we process the grief and pain and get to a place of starting to heal. I feel that it really is the balm that heals the soul and the soul of the world."
