On this week’s 51%, singer and culinary artist Lizz Wright talks about a range of topics, including what it means to sing joyfully.

That was a clip of Lizz Wright singing “Grace,” from her 2017 album of the same name. The time on her 51% segment “Force of Nature,” Dr. Sharon Ufberg interviews Wright, who is an internationally acclaimed jazz singer and recording artist. Alongside her successful music career, Wright is a professionally trained chef and devoted gardener. Her most recent undertaking is culinary director of Carver47 Food and Wellness Market inside the Little Black Pearl Art & Design Academy on the south side of Chicago. Ufberg asks Wright to share her story and how she developed her passions.
