Grateful for the opportunity to participate in this effort and give something positive back to our music community during these trying times. This playlist initially started as a cross section of current and nostalgic music that have lifted my spirits during the quarantine, but as events around police brutality against black men and women boiled over this past week I knew the tone wasn't right. This playlist was put together on Blackout Tuesday and is a collection of songs to help channel the gamut of powerful emotions we're all feeling now- empowerment, rage, joy, sorrow, hope, frustration and all things in between. I hope this small contribution of mine will help anyone listening to deal with this overwhelming time.
