“My vision for Dance & Romance was to create a movement to connect music to heal the world and by aiding in the fight to find a cure for cancer. After reading an article in the Journal of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network, I learned that research for some of the most deadliest cancers are underfunded compared with others so I decided to use my platform to do my part. Additionally, quality education for all during Covid-19 has been quite challenging and the opportunity for HBCUs to fundraise has taken a hit. Being raised in a household of educators, I truly understand the importance of education. I opened the door to partner with the National Alumni of Alabama State University and Central State University to support their education efforts,” explains Melvin Riley.
