About this episode
In this episode of Shaping Freedom, Lisane Basquiat is joined by Haskel Jackson Jr., Jared Baisley, and Sean Lewis from Music for Your Mental Health for a powerful conversation about music, healing, and emotional connection.
Together, they explore how music can become a bridge to self-awareness, communication, and mental wellness, especially for young people who may not yet have the language to express what they’re feeling. Drawing from backgrounds in music production, education, and therapy, they share how their work creates safe spaces where creativity becomes a tool for healing and growth.
The conversation also touches on the emotional weight many young people are carrying today, the importance of truly listening, and how music can help people feel seen, understood, and connected to themselves and others.
This episode is about more than music. It’s about presence, vulnerability, and using creativity to help people reconnect with who they are.
