As a teaching artist and advocate for American music, Anita enjoys sharing the history, oral traditions, and influence of African American music on the world and American culture.
Ms. Levels has a plethora of original music on all streaming music platforms and has a Masters's Degree in Training and Development. Her more recent venture is Corn and Potatoes Are Good For You, a podcast exploring the soul's journey through all things spiritual and sensual.
She will always be the Mother of two magical daughters, put bleach in her water, powder her sheets, season her vittles, sing, laugh out loud and cultivate spaces for communication, thought, and self-reflection.
