WATCH: Zonya performs her arrangement of "Soon I Will Be Done".

"We are still fighting to 'BE'," says Zonya. "We are still hurting from the residue of oppression that is infused in the fabric of our society . . . We lean on the spirit of our ancestors to direct and guide us. We are able to connect with them through these Negro Spirituals while developing new spirituals in the voice of our generation."
