  • How People Move People is a four-part series that unfolds in multi-episode arcs, focused on the work and passions of the host. Listeners discover how the lives and stories of others impact artistic journeys – the choreography of cultural influence. Series Three, titled "Mid-Ground," (released July 2024) is hosted by Tara Aisha Willis, Ph.D. and brings pairs of dance and performance artists together in kinship around their roots and work in the Black Midwest.
