This is a YouTube episode titled "🎧 #TPPSeason5Rewind | Episode 19: Dr. Leah Claiborne" (published 2025-08-10). The excerpt is a spoken segment by the episode's guest, Dr. Leah Claiborne, reflecting that she did not perform works by Black composers until graduate school, describing returning to share her journey with faculty and students, and ending with a call to follow the podcast "The Piano Pod with Yukimi Song."

I always tell people I never touched a piece by a Black composer until I was in graduate school— not even performing it publicly well into my DMA. So that's really kind of like how this all started so it was wonderful to come back here share with faculty and students on my journey; where it all started and kinda where I'm at right now! It has been great for me! Follow and subscribe to "The Piano Pod" with Yukimi Song with tradition meets innovation in classical piano.
