My guest on today’s episode is an incredible singer, songwriter, composer, visionary, organizer, and she happens to be my cousin, the one and only Meklit Hadero!

Meklit just released a brand new six-song EP entitled Ethio Blue, and in addition to the new music, she has also been hard at work on Movement, which is a podcast, radio series, live show and community building initiative exploring the intersection of migration and music.

We get into all of this, along with life as a parent in the pandemic, some of our shared experiences in Ethiopia, solidarity with Palestine, and more on today’s show.

Meklit also happens to be one of the voices featured on my remix album Embers which releases this week! And as a special for y’all… I’m releasing it on Bandcamp a few days early. As in… right now.

Thank you to everyone who has been rocking with us thus far!

It’s still medicine in the music, all ways.
