Eps. 13: Wisdom Work with Daphney Thomas

Daphney Thomas is a Cincinnati native whose two-decade journey in the arts began alongside the late artist and activist Robert O’Neal and evolved through leadership roles at institutions like the Taft Museum of Art and ArtsWave. Her work has shaped major cultural events such as the Arts Alive Pavilion at the Midwest Regional Black Family Reunion and Cincy Cinco, and she continues to serve on key arts committees, including the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra’s MAC Committee as former chair and the Taft Museum’s Duncanson Executive Committee. With a career rooted in truth, trust, and community, Daphney views art as a catalyst for connection, healing, and transformation—an energy she channels into every project she touches. As the Founder and CEO of the National Commission for Black Arts & Entertainment (NCBAE), Daphney has created a powerful platform that convenes, connects, and celebrates Black creatives across genres. Through NCBAE, she bridges not only the gaps between genres but artistry and advocacy, fostering spaces where culture thrives and communities are empowered. Her vision positions NCBAE as both a hub for emerging and established talent and a movement that uses art to drive social change, economic opportunity, and creative collaboration. https://ncbae.org [https://ncbae.org/about/]

Episode 11: Wisdom Work with Ursula Rucker

Ursula Rucker a Singer, Songwriter, and maybe must of all a Poet.  I first met Ursula Rucker in 2023 during the Underworld Black Arts Festival. We were put together in a Healing, Poetry, and Art Workshop with Anthony Carlos Molden titled Healing Colonial Trauma. I felt an immediate connection with this deeply poetic, soulful, earth woman. I can't tell you how much it means to me that she said yes to this conversation.
