browngirlmag: On May 7, 2019, Georgia resident and singer-songwriter, Anita Aysola recalls her heart sinking as Georgia's state government passed the most restrictive anti-abortion legislation to date.😓
—
As a political activist, mother and artist, Anita wanted to do her due diligence — call her senators, write letters, protest but it didn't feel like enough. Music was her catharsis. 🎧
—
This distress resulted in "Heartbeat," a jazz-infused anthem, in collaboration with members from the women's vocal social-action power @resistancerevivalchorus.🎤
—
Turning her social responsibility into art is beyond therapeutic but hopefully, an immersive way to be a responsible artist. 🌎
