On a daily ride between San Leandro and the Mission, a young poet found her page in motion. Sehinne's poem earned a rare sweep of nine-or-higher scores at the 2025 Brave New Voices festival, helping Team Youth Speaks Bay Area take first place. In the piece, the train becomes a steady, slightly offbeat presence part family member, part witness a place where writing happens in stolen minutes between stations.
Tabula Rasa is a testament to Medulla's two-year journey of sonic exploration, emotional vulnerability, and unwavering creative freedom. The album captures a rich, multi-layered sound reflective of her Zimbabwean heritage, merging rhythm and identity in a way that resonates deeply. With a passion for language, Meduulla breathes life into the concept of a 'clean slate'—whatever comes next, it's rooted in self-love and profound human connection.
