An electrifying performer, she appears frequently with the legendary Kirk Lighstey, Philip Harper, Mark Whitfield, and countless other major figures. She appeared recently at the Harlem Stage, Saratoga Jazz Festival, Burlington Jazz Festival, and is regularly heard at Smalls and Fat Cat in New York City.

The toolkits focusing on four areas – health, education, economic mobility and criminal justice – are available now through SPARQ: Social Psychological Answers to Real-world Questions, a program in the Psychology Department at Stanford’s School of Humanities and Sciences.
