Absolutely thrilled to be included amongst women composers featured in this week’s The New Yorker!!! Just got my hard copy hot off the presses!! Gratitude to composer foremothers like the late great Dr. Undine Smith Moore (25 August 1904-6 February 1989) who paved the musical path with radiance, tenacity, genius and brilliance!!! I celebrate and honor their majestic ever shining light as I continue to learn to soar!!! ~imani uzuri #bliss
