Episode 55: Jazz Week and the Healing Power of Music with Brinae Ali

What if music, movement, and healing were all part of the same rhythm? Brinae Ali — tap dancer, vocalist, choreographer, educator, and interdisciplinary artist — reflects on how jazz, movement, and cultural memory shape her work and sense of purpose. From growing up in an artistic household in Flint to preserving the legacy of Baby Laurence, she explores the healing power of vibration, the importance of community and collaboration, and the rituals that keep her grounded through a life of performance, teaching, parenting, and creating.
