Melissa Lyde is from Brooklyn, NY, and is the founder of Alfreda’s Cinema, a long-running immersive Black video art series, currently working towards opening its own space in Brownsville. Sharing music is a healing practice and as a free dancer, Melissa's selections are a sensuous induction of the body to feed the mind. She welcomes eager listeners on a groove of discovery through an array of jazz, house, classics, spiritual, and Afrikan sounds. To learn more about her initiative we invite you to follow Melissa on IG at @AlfredasCinema.
