Hey Everyone,
Rachel Flood (Sistahood’s founder) here just dropping a quick note to wax poetic about how amazing the launch was last night!! Holy heck…so freaking amazing. So much love. So many people. So so so so so awesome! I was telling a friend of mine who’s first introduction to Sistahood was last night, that a night like that is like church for me. Hands in the air, praising the most high, feeling the love, open to the goddess and all her goodness. It may sound cheesy but I feel like that is why hip hop is so much more than just a genre for all the true heads. It gets inside you. It touches a rhythm deep in your soul and it hold you tight when you feel like you are living a ‘hard knock life’ or lifts you higher when your life is on the upswing. Just as the Queen B said last night you get back what you give to it and last night we were given a true gift.
The Sistahood audience is unlike any other in this subdued town and I feel so blessed to be apart of the show as an audience member now 
There was a time when I didn’t have time to stop and enjoy the events, but now I get to pick a spot right up front and stay there ALL NIGHT!! So BIG thanks and BIG love to the Sistahood crew (ANNA IS THE RULE-N-EST!!) and the Working Arts Board for all their dedication, love and support!
Anyway, that’s it for now. Check out the pic below of me and my homies Colleen and Dule with Anna and Sarah in the background deep in our spiritual practice!
Werd.
See you all at Marika Swan’s art opening on Saturday night @ the Bump & Grind on the drive
GreenTaRA here – Hip Hop is alive and well. Bahamadia is one fine example of that! Thanks to all our Philly sistas…and our local sistas. Now we gotta get our ladies out to the BWAF in Philly this summer and share the northwest vibe back east! I was talking to Kytami today, she’s the violinist who was performing at the show last night, and she also commented on the crowd and how amazing the audience was at the Launch. Well, the vibrance of the crowd matched the shine of the performers…can’t have one without the other. That’s community. That’s Hip Hop.
It was SUCH a fantastic show!!! Congrats to everyone at SistaHood this year, it’s been a long time since Vancouver’s had such a powerful emcee on stage!! With a launch like that the rest of the months events are bound to reach even higher levels. Giddyup Vancouver – it’s SistaHood ALL MONTH LONG!!!
