On Thursday, June 26th I will be a guest on The Morning Mojo Show WURD 900 AM- Philadelphia hosted by dear friend and station program director, Stephanie Renee, to discuss my unique path to entertainment and intellectual property law and my upcoming participation in Dollars & $ense: The Business of Black Music panel discussion on Monday, June 30th.
Specifically, we’ll chat about how we met, my transition from poet to Lawyer by Day, Poet by Night™, and how I gained valuable work experience along the way to inform my professional choices in publishing, law, performance and, ultimately, academia. My segment will air at approximately 11:00 AM but tune in early so you’re sure not to miss it. Shows are archived in case you can’t catch it live.
