Our Beautiful Next: How We Make the World Anew

In uncertain times like these, it helps to look back and remember how we made it through. In this episode, we speak with singer, songwriter MILCK on her breakthrough music and how art can spark movement. Her song Quiet became an anthem after Trump's election in 2016 and catalyzed a national conversation about trauma and sexual assault.  Her music video drew millions of views and thousands of people posting their own videos singing her song - aided by sheet music and vocal arrangements she shared widely. 

We know we need to reach people by the millions in order to scale the change we seek.  That kind of narrative power – the reach and the power to reproduce itself – requires some engagement with the big machinery we call popular culture.  Learn more about MILCK's incredible artistry and advocacy at https://www.milckmusic.com/
