Last month, Mitra Kaboli one of the producers of Selects – a monthly show that unearths audio gems from the past – interviewied me about my work as an audio documentary writer and producer.
Specifically, Mitra asked about my radio background and the role I played in the production of the Smithsonian Institution’s Peabody Award-winning documentary series, Black Radio: Telling It Like It Was. Grammy Award winning singer and artist Lou Rawls served as the series’ host.

As this days of this month roll along, there’s still time to celebrate Black Music Month and African American music in all its forms.
With that in mind, feel free to check out this rendition of the spiritual Deep River, as performed by my choir – the Prince George’s County Choral Society, based at Bowie State University in Bowie, Maryland.
Enjoy it and more Black musical creativity as the summer heats up!
