Leslie Kwan is a Guyanese- American harpsichordist and arts executive. She grew up with Lincoln Center as her playground and American Pop music as her soundtrack. Leslie's exciting dual career path at CHANEL and the Boston Symphony Orchestra led her to launch her own media production company, ArtsWell. A IS FOR ARETHA is her gift to young Black girls around the world; to ensure that they learn about some of the most influential Black female musicians of all time, and inspire them to become the next Aretha. It's the kind of book that Leslie wished had been available to her as a young musician.
