FRIENDS!
We are more than excited about Saturday's fundraiser!
Today we were featured on "Morning Jazz" on WPFW 89.3 FM. The host, Askia Mohammad, played a song from our CD and interviewed me with regard to YWDEP and the details of the fundraiser. In addition, we received a call about the fundraiser from the office of Marie Johns (DC Democratic Mayoral Candidate), and we hear she plans to attend.
Further, we have added an incredible keynote speaker to our concernt program - Deborah McKinney from INCITE: Women of Color Against Violence will bring us her thoughts and reflections on the issue of violence in our city, specifically as it pertains to creating more, safer spaces for young people and especially young women.
That being said, "We get by with a little help from our friends" as the phrase goes - we are looking for just a few people to help out this weekend with some specific needs:
-assisting at the merchandise table
-assisting with the auction
-assisting at the door
-assisting with the raffle
if any of you have the time and interest, please let me know.
otherwise, hope to see all of you there - and please feel free to spread the word
Peace and THANK YOU for supporting YWDEP!

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.
