I’m doing a four part series exploring elements of nature as they relate to vocal expression: air, fire, earth, and fire. In today’s episode, I focus on the responsive, nourishing, centering qualities of earth as a symbol of unity and stability.
2. Outschool
I offer classes for kids on Outschool, a secure platform that has a robust community of both teachers and parents who are all invested in the well-being of our learners.
For students who are new to singing, I am offering The FUNdamentals of Singing, an ongoing workshop to learn the basics of breath, resonance, pitch accuracy, and more. I also recently introduced “Create and Sing Positive Affirmations to Build Self-Esteem” (Ages 9-13). And there will be more classes to come, so click the link below to follow my Outschool page, where I’ll post upcoming courses.

3. Voke
In this personalized program, I offer a powerful container for you to use your voice and creativity to discover, express, and deepen your alignment to your purpose. Voke is an immersive, experiential coaching series in which the power of your spoken, sung, written, and embodied voice is invoked to manifest your deepest desires, heighten consciousness, gain intuitive clarity, and optimize well-being. This program is designed for people who are interested in the power of the voice as a tool to heal, empower, and catalyze positive changes in people’s lives: music therapists, public speakers, somatic practitioners, energy workers, artists of all mediums who are looking to expand their creativity. All music skill levels welcome.

4. Soul Incites: Self-Development Book Club (and more!)
We recently finished The Big Leap by Gay Hendricks, which inspired my own next leap with the Soul Incites Facebook Group.
I am aligning all my various passions in self-development and sharing them in this group. Books will continue to be an important aspect of our journey, along with other curated resources across various media.
Who is Onome?
Onome is a vocalist, facilitator and interdisciplinary artist of Urhobo heritage in the Niger Delta. She incorporates improvisation into her practice as a tool to expand consciousness, creativity, and personal development. Through her audience-interactive performances, workshops and sound installations, Onome embodies joy, enchantment, and infinite possibility. She is a partner artist at Carnegie Hall as a core member of the vocal improvisation ensemble, Moving Star.
She has performed sound poetry at hundreds of venues nationally, recorded soundscapes for podcasts, and created vocal film scores. She received her MFA in Performance Studies at Pratt Institute. She is the artistic director for Lush Tongue, a vocal improvisation project where sound, creativity, self-discovery, connection, and joy converge through singing—via sound healing sessions, workshops, vocal coaching, retreats, and concerts. She leads Soul Incites, a women’s self-development book club. She got her start in spoken word poetry and opera via Nuyorican Poets Cafe and New York University, and now facilitates community vocal immersions at concert halls, conferences, galleries, museums, schools, cultural centers, shelters, prisons, parks, churches, wherever voices gather.
