    Honoring Black Music in American Theatre with Lee Summers

    Send a text In this episode of KeyBARD, Thembi sits down with Broadway veteran, writer, composer, director, and educator Lee Summers for a powerful conversation about artistry, legacy, Black music, and intellectual property. Lee made his Broadway debut in the original Broadway production of Dreamgirls, where he began studying what he calls “actor-proof” storytelling, which he describes as work that withstands changing casts and changing times. That early experience shaped a decades-long career spanning performance, writing, directing, and teaching. His work highlights many genres of Black music, through his off-Broadway musical From My Hometown (now licensed across the U.S. and Canada -- bring it to your town!) to his funk-driven Broadway-bound project The Funkentine Rapture, to his tribute to Ella Fitzgerald, and so many more exciting projects. He is also the creator of the album Soulriginals, a celebration of classic soul that reflects the musical DNA woven throughout his theatrical work.

    Protecting Intellectual Property with Dan Miller, The Copyright Detective

    Send us a text In this episode, Thembi sits down with Dr. Dan Miller, The Copyright Detective, for a timely and practical conversation about copyright, authorship, and the quickly emerging relevance of artificial intelligence. As AI tools become part of everyday creative workflows, Dr. Miller helps break down what creatives need to know to protect their work. Dr. Miller explains what “copyrightability” actually means, the difference between AI-generated and AI-assisted content, why “fair use” is often misunderstood, and one important action that creators should take within 90 days of completing an artistic work. Dan Miller, PhD is known as The Copyright Detective. With a background in higher education and years of experience working with authors, publishers, and creatives, Dan helps demystify copyright law and intellectual property, particularly as it intersects with emerging technology and AI. He is a frequent speaker, educator, and advocate for creators learning how to protect and enforce their rights in a rapidly evolving digital landscape.
