My Take
Hazel Scott is one of those figures I wish more people knew today. A virtuoso who fused jazz and classical piano, she was also a fearless critic of segregation who used her platform to fight for better representation of Black Americans on screen. Born in Trinidad and raised in New York from the age of four, she carried two worlds inside her artistry. What moves me most is that she refused to separate her gift from her conscience. In an era that rewarded silence, she chose to speak, and that combination of brilliance and courage is exactly what makes an artist timeless to me.
