the i am project, a 501(c)(3) organization, was designed to elevate awareness. our goal is to educate and initially we exposed emerging and established jazz musicians to a new and more expansive community by creating alternative venues, both terrestrial and digital. our platform has been evolving from our initial music clinics, digital conversations with a cross-section of industry professionals delivering a different dialogue, to jazzin' the grove, a free live concert series in coconut grove village west. we create community with those who enjoy music outdoors and engage organizations assigned to uplift, revitalize the little bahamas business district economy, and re-establish an enduring imprint on this neighborhood as a arts destination.

the voices of a new generation are louder than ever in this new century. it is one of social, racial and gender justice and equity that is no longer hidden from view. by giving them an alternative platform  to speak their truths while gaining new perspectives, their voices can be heard. we begin to hear inquisitive minds render an alternative portrait of life, global in scale, that recognizes their commonalities and concerns about the world they one day will inherit.
