All composers deserve a voice. But right now, too many barriers are in place that ensure low income musicians of color are abandoned. By concentrating funding on racist institutions at every step of a classical musician’s growth - from their first lesson to their final commission - rich, white, and often racist donors have too much of a say in who can turn their art into a career and who is left behind. 

Enough is enough. We need to divest from these institutions and create our own funding within our own communities. But we can’t do it alone. We need your help.

You have the power and resources to keep my art and my ideas alive. I am not supported by any non-profit or university. My artwork is a direct connection to and from my community. 

That’s why I use Patreon. 

​

Patreon is more about funding a musician’s art. My work is rooted in community building and healing. Your patronage will make you a part of a larger network that will: 

​

• Build community among marginalized artists through The Post Arabesque Podcast.
   

• Create opportunities for low income music lovers with discount rates on commissions for individuals.
   

• Create room to boycott institutions that don’t value artists of color.
   

• Develop independence for marginalized artists through writing blog posts, articles, music analysis, and composition livestream & instruction.
