Artists of Color Accelerate is an extension of our mission to create and elevate community spaces for arts and culture. Made possible by a generous grant from the Hartford Foundation for Public Giving’s ‘Artists of Color Unite!’ advisory group, Artists of Color Accelerate partners ten artists-who serve as fellows with ten organizations that will host them to develop artistic ventures of community significance.

On this episode I, Zulynette, your hostess with the mostess, get interviewed by my best pal, Patrick "Rico" Williams (season 1, episode 2).

Listen to this episode from The Creative Alchemist on Spotify. Patrick Williams is a writer, author, connector of people, educator, and creator of great things. In this episode we discuss Jesus is Black, giving feedback nicely, and how I brought Patrick the wrong M&Ms. Fun things that happened while recording: A young woman ran up to the car and started dancing and we may or may not have heard gunshots in the background.

In this Zoom conversation (gotta go with the vehicle we had at the time), Steven brings on Patrick Williams, Author of Jesus is Black, and an amazing community organizer, activist, and writer. And they don't do a deep dive into Patrick's written work, because there is other work to be done. While craft is loosely talked about, current events are pressing.
