PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT & Musical talent
Cultural Programming & Artistic Contribution
Led the development and execution of the Maryland Spirituals Initiative, where I organized and coordinated events aimed at fostering community engagement with a focus on Black/African American audiences. A key achievement was planning and managing the first African American Spirituals and Gospel concert at the prestigious Cosmos Club in Washington, D.C. — a venue renowned for its elite membership, including U.S. presidents, Pulitzer Prize winners, and Supreme Court Justice Kentanji Brown . In addition to program development, I contributed my musical talent by performing at this landmark event.
