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!
Please join me as I interview all the wonderful BIPOC creatives we have here in the US. Together we can create an inclusive environment on stage and in the classroom.
