Grateful Web gave me the opportunity to write. My first review was on the documentary film, Once Were Brothers: Robbie Robertson and The Band in late February of 2020.

During my tenure, I have also shared my perspective on the National Geographic’s premier of “Genius: Aretha” and a few books. Music and reading provide me with immense joy.
