Exposure and Access
Dear St. HOPE Friends, Supporters and community,
Never would I have guessed that an accomplished young Black man from my home state of North Carolina would be on the big stage gracing us on a grand piano.. It’s not that I didn’t think he and so many other Black musicians were capable. It’s that still today, opportunity is not always accessible in communities of color. This is primarily due to lack of exposure and access – both of which are important factors in determining whether our dreams and ambitions can be fulfilled.
