WELCOME TO MY PODCAST!
My name is Erika Gates and it all started when I was trying to find illustrations of BIPOC musicians for my music classroom. With no luck finding them, I created the illustrations myself! I soon came to realize that I can contribute more which has led me to launch this podcast! Because more needs to be done, more stories need to be told, heard, and discovered. Starting this podcast is my contribution in showcasing the beauty in diversifying the arts by hearing the stories of today's BIPOC musicians.
Please join me as I interview all the wonderful BIPOC creatives we have here in the US. May you leave each episode feeling inspired and motivated to pursue your musical aspirations!
