Tulani Kinard
Tulani Kinard is a vocalist/composer, author, cultural activist and motivational speaker. A brief introduction to any of her inspirational songs, captivating performances, or motivating workshops reveals Tulani''s distinctive grounding as a creative artist and spiritually committed communicator. A former member of the GRAMMY-award-winning a cappella ensemble Sweet Honey In The Rock, Tulani''s musical influences include many genres. She found her voice as a young girl singing in a Boston Pentecostal church choir. Since then, Tulani, now New York based, has "found herself at one" with jazz, folk, gospel, R&B, traditional African songs and spoken word. She integrates all these styles into her music.
Unlimited in her musical scope, embracing ideas of healing, love, community and transformation, Tulani has a diverse listening audience. Her CD "expressions of my MIND," is a collection of songs that reaches down and stirs souls to rise up and fly freely. Recognized as a gifted singer and orator "with a colorful voice of conscience," Tulani''s brand of "empowerment music" has produced a body of music that has been used for leadership conferences, inspirational workshops, radio shows, and as a theme song for a network television show. She has also provided opening performances for keynote speakers such as Iyanla Vanzant, Eve Ensler, Anita Hill, Carolyn Myss, and Dr. Maya Angelou.
The impact of Tulani''s creative expression lead to an appearance on Oprah - as a performer and her life and artistry as the focus for the In The Spirit segment.
In recognition of her life''s mission to promote love, peace, empowerment and collective consciousness, Tulani is the recipient of the Fannie Lou Hammer Award from Medgar Evers College in New York. She also recently founded and launched the Ase (ah-shay) of Peace Fellowship performance series. The fellowship is designed to expand the awareness of the power of the spirit of peace through artistic expressions.
Yet another significant part of Tulani''s transformational work includes her commitment to empowering women through beauty and fashion. In 1997, she wrote the nationally acclaimed book NO LYE: An African-American Woman''s Guide To Natural Hair Care (St. Martins Press). Tulani served as a role model for designer Eileen Fisher in the fashion industry''s groundbreaking 2003 campaign "Women Change the World Everyday."
Whether she is making a joyful noise or blowing a cultural clarion call, Tulani inspires movement in bodies, minds, and spirits. Her distinctive gift is helping to define a fertile moment in the journey toward personal transformation.
