The transformative power of arts is a central theme in the conversation between our guests Jackie Taylor and Charlique Rolle.

Jackie's dedication to fostering positive narratives and unity through the arts shines in her latest venture, the Free to Be Village, solidifying her as a visionary leader securing the legacy of Black Ensemble Theater.
Charlique Rolle, the dynamic new president of the Black Arts and Culture Alliance, is revolutionizing black arts and cultural representation. She builds upon the alliance's legacy, driving initiatives to empower Black artists across diverse fields, including theater, visual arts, music, dance, and literature.
