I waited off to the side, reporting on the Future of Music Coalition’s annual policy summit in Washington, DC. “Would you be willing to come speak to my class sometime?” one of her alma mater professors asked, to which she agreed.

Josh Urban is a writer and musician in Washington, DC. He just kicked off the 2015 Kindness Exchange, an interactive global project to bring light into the holiday season. Join the movement at Joshurban.com/Kindness.
