Hey, Julian. This is one of my favorites of all your writing because the connections you are making here are exciting to me. I'd never considered Harriet Tubman a saint in the context of canonical sanctification, but it makes sense. Music the way you're doing it is personal and creative and feeds people; it is not harnessed by a capitalist system, and a harness is a yoke, and being yoked is to be a slave. I will ponder this. Thanks, Julian.

Whitney thank you so much for this read and for this logical flow. I love that. And thank you for encouraging me in the way I’m carving a path in music. It is hard to be in a capitalist endeavor as a businessman and make sure my moorings are to something deeper than the greed it fuels. But greed comes from fear, and I pray to not be yoked to that most sinister of masters. Praise God for Harriet’s unfolding journey.
