“I love working with adults, but I think adults don’t necessarily have as many opportunities as kids to engage in the arts. And to all ages, we are keeping that African conversations going, passing down cultures, passing down information and to engage all segments of society as much as we can. I would love to see how we can do that in a transatlantic way.”
