Keshena Armon is an independent musical artist specializing in soulful, uplifting music. With a mission to craft musical experiences that touch hearts and inspire listeners to make the most of their lives, the singer/songwriter has been performing, composing and educating for over 25 years. This summer, Keshena has been offered a unique opportunity to travel to Kenya and Uganda for six weeks, and to use her professional development experience to explore new sounds, collaborate with fellow educators and facilitate inclusion of the East African experience upon her return to the US. There is no doubt Keshena will write new material as she dives into understanding the indigenous language of Kiswahili and design innovative international and intercultural courses of study. We invite you to follow her journey and to listen to her creative expressions as they unfold.
