I was honored to join the Movers & Shakers of the Wilmington Arts Scene in the most recent edition of Out & About! Read the full article below! --- Question: Your best advice to future artists/arts leaders? KA: Do it scared. Sometimes, I feel scared when approaching new projects but then I remind myself that I’m scared because I care, I want to be great, I want to make magic. Don’t let fear stop you! Question: Finish this sentence: “Wilmington’s arts scene truly needs…” KA: A hype squad of arts lovers advocating in the community! We’ve got something special here, we should be proud to live here and experience the arts in Wilmington. Question: What’s next for your arts journey?

Y’all, my TEDTalk was released and she’s already at over 20K views!! My original title was “An Opera Singer’s Guide to Advocacy and Authenticity” but TED updated it and I’m not even mad because opera is NOT as pretentious as you may think! It’s all about joyful advocacy and creating a sense of belonging 🤩✌🏽 Opera (and theater and ballet and jazz and ART) for ALL! Thank you for this incredible opportunity, Dr. Dan Young, Amanda Banks and everyone at #TEDxOldHickory and a MAJOR shoutout to my beloveds in Leadership Delaware, Inc. who encouraged me every step of the way. 🥹 And at the tippy top of my list of gratitude 💜 Dane Suarez, who keeps me sane and safe, Gil Otano, who reminds me to laugh, and Karen Otano, who is always with me.
