Quick Before it Melts 003: May 25, 2021

If there’s a connecting thread to the songs on today’s edition of Quick Before it Melts, it’s that each, in its own way, is about sharing stories about lived experiences, speaking truths that otherwise go unsaid or unacknowledged, and raising and amplifying voices in an effort to bridge divisions and build unity. Open your heart, your mind, your ears, and listen. Today’s episode is now streaming on Mixcloud and through the player below.
