Julia Jordan Kamanda: Parenting, Creative Energy & Mental Health

Singer-Songwriter & Music Educator Julia Jordan Kamanda shares how she works to reclaim her own creative impulses while raising two kids during the pandemic & working from home. Julia talks openly about her 9-year-old's new feelings of anxiety, emerging since the murder of George Floyd, and how she and her husband encourage their kids to find healthy outlets to process big feelings. Julia shares how connecting with our creative selves makes us more engaged parents and how the arts provides a powerful educational tool to the young girls she and her husband, Ali Biko Kamanda, empower through their Creative Arts Initiative in Sierra Leonne.
