Whether you're a singer, a writer, or simply someone with a story to
share, this experience is about using your voice together.

Led by acclaimed soul and blues artist Lady A, and featuring a live performance by Lady A and her band, this workshop explores the tradition of call-and-response as a tool for connection, community-expression, and resilience. Rooted in African and African-American musical history, call-and-response has long served as a way to speak truth, share struggle, and build community.

Participants will work together to create an original call-and-response song that reflects the community’s story, its challenges, strengths, and hopes for the future. Through guided lyric writing, rhythm exercises, and collective creativity, everyone will have a voice in shaping a piece that is meaningful and authentic.
