Morley’s music has brought her before many world leaders and policy makers such as His Holiness The Dalai Lama, Nelson Mandela, and Ban Ki-moon.She has written, collaborated, and shared the stage with such distinguished artists as Toshi Reagon, Bernice Johnson Reagon, Angélique Kidjo, Dave Matthews, Sheryl Crow, Richard Bona, Lokua Kanza, Queen Latifah and Wynton Marsalis to name a few.
