  • Empowering an Empire: A Conversation with Lachi

    Our guest this month describes herself in many ways. She's a singer, a songwriter, and an all-around performer. She's also blind, a woman, and a person of color. All of those characteristics--and many others--make Lachi who she is. And, because she writes songs about her own unique experiences, those characteristics come together to make Lachi's music uniquely hers. Who is Lachi, how has she gotten to where she is today, and how is she working to build a brighter future for blind female performers of color? Join us as the one and only Lachi opens up to Lizzy about her life, her music, and much more!

  • Marching Madness

    what do you think of when you think of March Madness? Probably that exciting college basketball competition that has the unique power to become a student's dream and a fan's obsession. You might think about filling out your bracket or proudly displaying your school's colors. But there's more to March Madness than the athletes on the court; the marching bands, too, represent their schools with pride and style. "But blind people can't play in a marching band, can they?" you ask. Of course we can! Join Lizzy as she celebrates March Madness by talking with some marchers who show us how it's done.

  • Blind Ballet? Why Not?

    We know there are many blind musicians out there, but what about dancing? Blind people can’t see what other dancers are doing on stage. Surely they can’t perform in the same way. Not so fast! On this episode, Lizzy is joined by three ballet dancers who are successful at their craft and share with us how it’s done.
