“I grew up in low-income areas and I've seen people take negative energy and just accept it. They give into and end up living a pretty rough life.

“I had a hole in my voice. It's an area in the voice where it's air. It's just - there's no - it's just very airy. And my classical teachers were just so frustrated with me because I would have these deep, low notes that were really strong, and the higher register was strong, but right in that middle area, it was really hard. It was like a passage. And many singers go through this and work it out. But I realized in jazz, I could just take advantage of that and take advantage of having a voice that was very different in different areas.” DifferentHardStrongVoiceTeacherAirMiddleHigherLowsAdvantageAreasJazzNotesSingersI RealizedHolesWorking ItPassagesFrustratedRegisterAiry Author:Cecile McLorin Salvant
“Depending on how quickly you get ocean rise, you have people who live in river deltas [at risk].

“When I was 12, we moved from New Jersey to Florida. The Gulf of Mexico was literally my backyard. Every day, I could see the ocean. At low tide I went out and played in seagrass meadows that used to come right up to the shore, filled with tiny seahorses, pipefish and soft corals. There was so much life! But then I witnessed the change, the loss of the shoreline, the loss of the mangrove trees, the loss of the seagrass meadows.
