'Being Black' is a five movement multi-percussion solo. The piece was written as a memorial of the black lives that have been lost to police brutality and other senseless killings. The rhythmic content, use of repetition, and all other musical choices were made based on the dates and details of several cases including Trayvon Martin, Eric Garner, Tamir Rice, Ahmaud Arbery George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and many more.
