Black Music Month 2025: NPR-Tiny Desk Features
We have entered another Black Music Month celebration and there is so much music to dive into! A little background on the yearly celebration! Also known as African American Music Appreciation Month, it is an annual celebration in the United States that takes place every June. Designated by President Jimmy Carter in 1979 , BMM is a time to recognize and appreciate the contributions of African American musicians, composers, singers, and songwriters to American culture.Â
The month serves as a celebration of the enduring impact and legacy of Black musicians and their creativity on American music, culture, and history.Â
And just like last year, I look forward to sharing NPR’s Tiny Desk Concert features for the month. This year’s Black Music Month-Tiny Desk Concerts “honors the anniversaries of landmark albums that have shaped the course of music and culture.”
So let’s see what we have in store this week…

It’s Good To Be Back…
Here we are, June 1st, 2025…we are officially halfway through the year.
Now I know I have been absent, but I am getting back on track. 2025 has already been a whirlwind of a year, and it is only going to get better. Much of my time has been occupied with writing, as I am literally in the last stages, more like moments, of submitting my book manuscript. This has truly been a journey that I could never even imagine. The fact that I am so close to the finish line has me nervous and excited! Nervous because this project has been a part of my life for over 14 years. Excited because the project will be shared with the world! It’s amazing what happens to your mind and spirit when you step away, but still dive into the work that you love. When it is all said and done there has been a lot of moving and shaking, and I can’t wait to share with you all!
So, as we enter the month of June, let’s check out some highlights of what we can look forward to over the next 30 days…
- All of June: Black Music Appreciation, Pride, National Soul Food Month
- June 11th: Full Moon (Strawberry Moon)
- June 15th: Father’s Day
- June 19th: Juneteenth
- June 20th: Summer Solstice/First Day of Summer
In addition to checking in with you all, I just wanted to let you know that I will be getting back into the swing of things, sharing my book recommendations, travel stories, pop culture news, film and tv trailers, and other exciting commentary.
I’m back!! So stay tuned!!
