Breaking Barriers in Music with  Regina Sayles | HarmonyTALK #89

What happens when the people you are studying ask you to stand beside them instead?

In this powerful episode of HarmonyTALK, host Lisa Champeau interviews Judy Frater, a Pennsylvania-born Fulbright Scholar, Ashoka Fellow, design educator, author and founder of India’s first design school for traditional textile artisans.

After moving to Kutch, India, more than 30 years ago, Judy’s academic research took an unexpected turn when an artisan asked her a life-altering question:”Instead of studying us, why don’t you help us?”

That moment sparked Kala Raksha, a women’s embroidery cooperative, a textile museum preserving nearly 800 historic works, and eventually Somaiya Kala Vidya, a groundbreaking design school that teaches artisans business, marketing, sustainability and innovation without abandoning tradition.

Judy shares what it means to empower rather than interfere, how commercialization and cultural preservation can coexist, and why “the biggest luxury is knowing who made your clothes.”

This episode explores sustainability, ethical fashion, women’s economic empowerment, social entrepreneurship, artisan education and the courage to make something new.

Perfect for listeners passionate about ethical fashion, social impact, women’s leadership, global design, sustainability, and creative entrepreneurship.

Threads of Courage: How Judy Frater Helped Artisans Design Their Own Futures

Marker 01

How do you choreograph change when life shifts beneath your feet?

On this episode of HarmonyTALK, host Greg Frigoletto sits down with internationally acclaimed choreographer, creative director, educator and podcast host Cherice Barton to explore what it means to move through evolving seasons with grace, humor, and purpose.

With a career spanning Broadway, Cirque, television, ballet and global immersive productions, Cherice understands discipline, scale and creative leadership. At home, she and her former husband, a television executive, are collaborative co-parents to two tween daughters, modeling what modern family evolution can look like.

She also shares the inspiration behind her podcast, Creative Mamas Unplugged, a podcast where Cherice “navigates the hell out of being a creative mom with humor and heart.” Through it, she is building a bold, honest community for women balancing ambition and motherhood.

This conversation is about embracing discomfort, choosing joy, building community and always staying in motion.

Choreographing Change : Cherice Barton

Jeff Braverman joins HarmonyTALK to reflect on 30 years of leadership at Camp Nesher and the unexpected decisions that helped shape one of its most meaningful legacies.

What began as a dream to create a vibrant summer camp experience centered on community and faith took an unexpected turn when he was approached by a parent who asked if their wheelchair-bound child with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy could be accommodated and welcomed at camp.

Braverman’s decision to move forward would become one of the most defining moments of his career. He didn’t simply advocate for accessibility. He embedded it into the culture of the camp itself, shaping programs and practices that welcomed campers of all abilities as equal participants through a partnership program with the national organization Yachad (Hebrew for “together”,) whose mission is inclusion for individuals with developmental disabilities into the greater Jewish community.

Located in Lakewood, Pennsylvania, Camp Nesher is part of NJY Camps, a 105-year-old organization and one of the world’s largest camping agencies, awarding up to $2 million in scholarships each year. In addition, NJY brings more than 40 years of experience in inclusive programming through its Round Lake inclusion program at its Milford, Pennsylvania, property which includes Camps Nah-Jee-Wah, Cedar Lake and Teen Camp.

In this inspiring conversation with host Todd Stephens, Braverman shares leadership lessons learned along the way and how passion, purpose and music can move in harmony.
