"I represent the most precious gem there is to Memphis, and that’s the arts. I’m one of many, [and we] represent what makes our city worldwide."

Happy Black History Month, Memphis! We are talking with Lar'Juanette Williams about the importance of preserving Black art in the 901, the 40th anniversary of Memphis Black Arts Alliance, what makes the Memphis arts community unique, and how she feels about taking the stage for TEDxMemphis later this week. It is a joy to hear how her love of the arts has translated into a career of connecting others and showcasing the talent of the Mid-South.
