In this new online series, The Tea, women musicians perform original work via live-stream on the museum’s Facebook page and at nmwa.org/livestream on the first Friday of the month. Each session includes a short interview, conducted over a cup of tea, which explores the artist’s creative process. The series kicks off with Tamika Love Jones.

Tamika Love Jones is a versatile vocalist, actress, mother of two, and a sought after Teaching Artist in Washington, D.C. She has released three albums of original music incorporating Soul, Hip Hop, Jazz, Funk, Blues and Classical influences. Jones’s dramatic stage presence, acrobatic vocals and fluidity between genres has put her in a class of her own.
