Show Notes
Kyshona is a Nashville-based musician, music therapist, and activist whose powerful work bridges music, healing, and social impact.
This episode is deep-dive into her 2024 album, Legacy, which explores ancestry, generational trauma, and the work of healing through song.
Kyshona talks bout therapeutic songwriting—turning participants’ journal entries into songs—and shares powerful stories about music as empowerment for incarcerated people, elders in memory care, and communities in recovery.
She dives into the inspiration behind the track “Carolina,” the role of genealogy in reclaiming family stories, and offers practical advice for artists to align with a mission-driven practice and use their gifts in ways that are trauma-informed and community-centered.
