'I believe in kindness and compassion towards all people regardless who they are or where they came from." Peter Ali

Cancer Survivor

Peter says, “I believe that the Native American flute aside from being a part of my heritage is a truly a healing instrument that was key in helping me get through a divorce in the beginning as well as cancer later down the road. Surviving cancer has allowed me to “give back” in a good way, to play for those that are hurting. I also try to share my diversity wherever I go to educate and remove stereo types because so much going on in the world today. I believe in kindness and compassion towards all people regardless who they are or where they came from.
