Stacey is also co-founder of The Opening Doors Project, an anti-racist music organization that amplifyies voices of color and advances conversations about race through the arts.
The Opening Doors Project was founded in 2021 to promote deep conversations around race through the arts. By bringing new cultural experiences to suburban Boston-area communities and viewing audiences across the nation, Opening Doors strives to promote and inspire the work of anti-racism. Our programs are rooted in the conviction that white people have a role to play in advancing racial justice; that fulfilling this role requires interaction with new ideas and perspectives; and that music and art can be powerful tools for sparking awareness.
Films

Role: Producer
The Opening Doors Interview Series features top national and largely BIPOC talent playing music and discussing issues related to diversity, equity and inclusion.
Race & Song: A Musical Conversation (2022)
Role: Producer
Race and Song is an exploration of history and current events through the lens of race — and using the powerful tool of music. Veteran musicians and storytelling troubadours, Reggie Harris and Alastair Moock, rely on their years-old friendship to discuss complicated issues of race, class, gender, and history with intentionality and generosity of spirit. Together in musical conversation, they open up to each other and frame their lived experiences through music, which always helps the medicine go down!
Over the past few years, Reggie and Alastair have brought meaningful and accessible conversations about race to a wide range of audiences in a wide range of spaces. One of their greatest strengths as a duo is their ability to meet the audience where they are. “Race and Song†has toured all around the country: to theaters, performing arts centers, houses of worship, libraries, senior centers, and many, many schools, from elementary to high school, and also at the college level.
