Orice Jenkins is a man of many talents and not one to brag. He is the Executive Director of Musica Franklin in Greenfield, a program teaching kids about music and beyond for FREE. The ways that the staff teach playing instruments and working together is the effort of many years of hard work and he is not alone in MF’s success. Gloria Matlock is also a teacher there, along with others, who has been on the show with some of the same kids who are part of both Musica and Twice As Smart. These kids are some of the best ones that I know, and it is a testament to the programs and these amazing adult humans that are involved. Additionally, Orice is an accomplished musician in his own right and has toured the country with some of the greatest artists in the world. He is also an author of The Early County Massacre: The Goolsby vs. The State of Georgia which has ties to his family history. To add to this great work, he is also a genealogy researcher and educator, he is humble and worth spending time with. For more information about Musica Franklin and Orice Jenkins please go to:
