Episode 1: Shahzore & Lisa

Published: Oct. 20, 2020, 3 a.m.

Shahzore: "When we were in Chicago, at the mosque, we were the white kids, and when we were in Stillwater at church, we were the brown kids, and very much so."

Lisa: "How do you separate with something you can’t separate? You can try and unweave the braids sometimes of what is you being you, and what is you as a reflection of what and how you understand your racial/ethnic heritage."

Join us for our first episode of Heritage Choir, a conversation series connecting community members and musicians of Border CrosSing as we explore themes of culture, storytelling and music. Each episode brings together two people, often strangers, to share their personal stories and the way music weaves through their lives.
