Greetings All!
I'm excited to report that our 2nd YWDEP session on Saturday, May 21 was a great success!
11 incredible young women showed up, and four of those young women were experiencing their second YWDEP session, and brought a few of their friends to check it out. We also welcomed a crew of 4 young women from Little Lights Urban Ministries, and this coming week we'll welcome a group of young women from Kingsbury Day School for our POETRY WORKSHOP!!
This Saturday, local Poet Leah Harris will bring her artistic expertise, along with her warm, creative spirit to session 3, giving each young woman an opportunity to unleash her inner poet and express her opinions, experiences and emotions through this art form.
In addition to poetry, we'll continue our drumming workshop during the last 30 minutes of session 3. Those who haven't been able to make a session yet will be a little behind on technique, but there's still time to get you up to speed so don't despair! Come join us: Saturday, May 28, 10-11:30 a.m. at All Souls Church, 16th and Harvard Sts NW, Harvard St entrance - Columbia Heights metro station.
In closing, please note that our core membership is growing with each session, which is fabulous! However the project may soon have to discontinue enrollment once membership reaches 15 solid participants. Each session works to build skills in drumming, poetry, spoken word and performance, preparing the members for a performance in August, so the more solid our group, the better. Any young women who still want to join should contact me as soon as possible, or register NOW online on the home page: www.youngwomendrum.org.
THANK YOU for your continued support and involvement in the Young Women's Drumming Empowerment Project --
IN RHYTHM!!

The Young Women’s Drumming Empowerment Project seeks to empower a core group of young women by guiding them in a process of learning how to play hand drums and percussion, along with expressing their opinions and telling their stories. The girls work with local artists to build a strong collection of rhythms, songs & spoken word. The 12-week project culminates with 3 final performances featuring the work of the project participants. Project updates and developments are listed below.
