During this voice bite, Paul Henderson discusses the fact that some artists are afraid to speak up and disengage when galleries no longer are aligned with their artistic goals. Jewell Sparks has just finished telling him about her art purchase fiasco and he weighs in. The entire podcast episode enables the audience to reflect upon art and culture transformations that Paul and Jewell have seen take place over the past 12 years. These old pals discuss the art of collecting, art fair access, the closure of African American art institutions, and more. 
Themes of significance for diverse representation are at the center of Paul's focus. As a collector Mr. Henderson is focused on art that is intentional about reflecting communities of color with an advocacy lens of social justice.  His collection includes works from both emerging artists and notable blue chip luminaries. Both his home and collection are featured regularly through his media presence and the artwork is highlighted intentionally to introduce audiences to new artists and work challenging cultural stereotypes.  Moreover, Paul frequently disseminates the provenance for The Henderson Art Collection as a validation and critical review of the many emerging artists in the collection.
