From her time improvising at UC Berkeley, to traveling the world performing and finding her voice as a songwriter, Monique DeBose has an incredible story to share. A polymath with degrees in Spiritual Psychology and Mathematics, she earned acclaim for her one-woman show Mulatto Math: Summing Up the Race Equation in America and is a prominent speaker who has done TED Talks.
DeBose has made her mark in music with songs that carry the weight of struggle and experience. Her 2018 song "Damaged Goods" looks at how our perceived faults are part of our humanity; her 2020 track "Rally Call" summons the disenfranchised to stand up and fight, because every voice matters. She discusses both of these songs in this episode of the Songfacts Podcast, and also explains how improv singing gave her an artistic foundation.
Speaking with DeBose, it's clear why she gets invited to TED Talks: her energy can fill up a room and leave you wanting more.
