#40 | Beauty, Sorrow and Fredrick Douglass with Ruth Naomi Floyd

Yes my friends! Okay, you're in for a treat with this one. I sat down with my friend Ruth Naomi Floyd who is an exceptional songwriter, Jazz composer and singer and the first African American woman to serve as Founding Director of a university jazz program in the United States. We cover a lot of ground in this chat from the power of beauty to the importance of sorrow and the work of Fredrick Douglass.

I hope you enjoy and once again, thanks for the support!
