Exploring music, meaning, and humanity with Kevin P. Henry

In this episode of SolFul Connections, I sit down with Kevin P. Henry and discover a story shaped by a loving childhood, a powerful family truth held quietly for years, and a life deeply intertwined with music, meaning, and humanity.Kevin takes us back to a time many of us remember fondly: listening to full albums, reading liner notes, letting music shape how we understood the world and ourselves. His years as a music journalist aren’t just about sound, they’re about connection, culture, and the stories that live inside songs. Music lovers, this one is especially for you.The conversation explores Kevin’s work in diversity, equity, and trauma-informed spaces, work that is grounded not in theory, but in lived experience, deep listening, and care for people. We talk about family, belonging, and what it means to stay human while doing work that asks a lot of your heart.This episode is a reminder that our stories are layered, that art matters, and that the way we listen (to music and to each other) can change everything.To learn more about Kevin and his work, visit kevinphenry.com.
