Saxophonist Dexter Tolson Speaks About Determination

1/9/2023

It goes without saying that we thoroughly enjoy speaking with creatives and music artists. But more importantly, we want every person that watches a When We Speak TV interview or video to see the motivation and inspiration within it.
We recently spoke with saxophonist Dexter Tolson who is not only a veteran of the US Army but also a great example of determination.

We hope that as you view this 'What Do YOU Speak?' segment that you are empowered, encouraged, and determined to reach your dreams as well......
