TESTIMONIALS
"What stunning opportunity Keys 2 Success has created! This is what we're about, human beings creating opportunity out of difficulty. Human beings expanding what we think is possible. "
- Marshell Jones Kumahor, VP of Education at the New Jersey Symphony Orchestra
"When I look at Keys 2 Success, I see an organization grounded in the values of racial justice and equity. Using the power of arts education within communities challenged by poverty and disinvestment, K2S instills hope and inspires confidence in children and families. As a grassroots organization with committed leadership, Keys 2 Success has opened doors of potential, providing free instruments and accessible musical training. These simple gifts are making all the difference for youth of color in and around Newark. Thank you for all you do!"
- Jeremy Johnson, Executive Director of Assembly for the Arts and Former Executive Director of Newark Arts
"Music is transcendent and when we are able to create music, we can express and share the most deep and fundamental parts of ourselves without uttering one word. I believe in Keys 2 Success because its founder and teachers are committed to fighting daily, ensuring that access to the precious and universal gift of music education is equitable and available to the community, regardless of race and income level."
- Mikhiela Sherrod, Executive Director at Agricultural Missions, Inc.
"By combining space, time, sound, culture, and emotions, music encapsulates the human experience. The joy and struggle of learning music exposes our humanity to ourselves and to others. What I adore about Keys 2 Success is their dedication to equity and humanity through every lesson, policy, and project. Their students’ realities are being centered in an art form where they are often excluded or bothered."
- Allison Russo, Founder of The Critical Good
"I think music education is important because music allows an opportunity for freedom. Freedom to explore creativity, to explore emotion, to explore truth as your words, movement is turned into sound harmoniously. I appreciate Keys 2 Success because our kids are seen for the potential of beauty that dwells within themselves and encouraged to accept their own beauty and share it with others. Mrs. Jee-Hoon sees the beauty in our kids and that is half the battle."
- Shaqrah Aryee, Newark Native and K2S Parent
