We continue our Black women in the Arts Series with the incomparable Jennifer Arnold. She was a delight to speak with. Her journey and story are remarkable. At a young age, she declared her path and embarked on the journey of a lifetime.
Hearing her story left me in awe. The experiences she shared reminded me of a great movie filled with adventure and passion. Not only is she on the stage as a violist, but she uses her superpowers to help orchestras navigate diversity through the Black Orchestral Network of which she is a founding member.
Join in my delight and enjoy our conversation on the Black Women Amplified Podcast.

Hey Sis,
I can't tell you how much I enjoyed talking to Author Jayne Allen. Her insights about life are so on point.
I am still on self-care time and I wanted to share with you one of my favorite conversations. Jayne Allen's new book "Black Girls Must Be Magic" is such a delicious read. I listened to it over a weekend and can't wait to listen to part one of her trilogy.
Enjoy and share this magical conversation.
Love Always,
Monica Wisdom,

Burning Man is a unique experience that takes you deep inside and way out of your comfort zone. It is an annual society experiment that happens on an ancient lake bed in Nevada. It is focused on creating a society where all are welcome and life is transformed into a place of freedom and generosity.
Well, like in society they lift a few things out. Radical inclusion seemed to stop at the diversity of thought. Going in 2012, I walked around wondering where were all the black and brown people. Years later the question turned into a quest and projects like The Black Burner Project were birthed.
For the first time, I am having a black girl chat about Burning Man. We welcome Cassaundra Anthony for a 2 part conversation about our Burning Man experience.
Casandra Anthony is an educator with experience working for international schools in countries such as the Netherlands, Italy, Tanzania, Albania, and Denmark. When not teaching, Casandra is supporting creatives and artists. This led to her joining Black Burner Project for Burning Man 2022 where she specializes in programming and curating events on playa. She is an event promoter and enthusiast for the visual arts and House music culture having organized events in the US and Europe. Casandra enjoys amplifying the work and voices of Black creatives and building inclusive communities through music.
Please enjoy our 2 Part of conversation and please review and share with your crew.
I appreciate the continued support.

We are honored to have the incomparable Tracey Moore join us on the Black Women Amplified podcast. Her story is inspiring and takes on a journey of the power of determination. - Monica Wisdom
Tracey Moore is a multi-talented entertainment entrepreneur who has had an impressive career as an acting coach, casting director, director, producer, TV/podcast host, and author. She arrived in New York City in 1983 with only two hundred dollars, a one-way ticket, and a trunk from San Francisco, California to pursue a directing career on Broadway.
One of Tracey’s first jobs in New York was creating a practical joke company for hire called “The Joke’s On You!” She wrote, directed, and cast her unemployed actor friends in customized joke scenarios. After four years of playing jokes, Tracey transitioned into a successful casting career in television, film, and commercials for over 30 years.
With her keen eye for talent, Tracey discovered comedian Dave Chapelle. She later went on to cast a plethora of actors, including Kerry Washington, Jamie Hector, Michael K. Williams, Naturi Naughton, Jeffrey Wright, and many more. She has also been a casting director for popular TV shows like New York Undercover and Spike Lee’s “Girl 6.” In addition, Tracey has worked on commercial projects for Nike, Sprite, Coca-Cola, and other major brands.
Tracey enjoys sharing her expertise by teaching The Spirited Actor Workshop and conducting private coaching sessions.
Currently, she is the executive producer, creator, and co-hosts the award-winning show "Inside the Black Box" with Emmy Award-winning actor/director Joe Morton on Crackle TV, and hosts "The Spirited Actor Podcast with Tracey Moore" on iHeart Radio. With Tracey’s guidance, her client Myles Frost recently won a Tony Award for his role in MJ on Broadway.
Whether it's casting, coaching, directing, producing, hosting, or writing, Tracey Moore has proven herself to be a creative force in the entertainment industry. And through her Spirited Actor program, she has helped countless actors achieve their dreams and reach their fullest potential.
