    Really appreciate the range on this playlist. It is a great reminder of the diversity that exists among Black musicians and artists and an important teaching that a wide range of music can be featured and celebrated in youth meetings and programming spaces.

    This range when shared also makes it possible for Black youth in programming spaces to bring their unique interests and talents to a group or space.

    Music has such a powerful connection, and a couple of times while doing the modules, I would go back and listen to the amazing song selections again just because of the messages and feelings they conveyed. When I first heard ‘If I Have a Son’ by Ruth B. in a module, it made me cry. The words ‘I hope I see the day where I don’t have to pray/Every time you go’ hit me hard. They really reminded me again of what incredibly important work it is to talk about anti-Black racism, and the very real implications these modules of enriching education, emotional experiences, and research insights, have for all of society to do better.

    I Just Wanna Live! Title says it all, too many people existing in this world, not enough people thriving and living. Survival is not a way of life, one chooses, it’s imposed!
