Dig Out, Relax or Throw Snow Balls!

So... last night the power was out... people were stuck in their cars and buses stopped in their tracks. Now it is either time to dig out, relax... or for some throw snowballs. Whatever you did hopefully this show was your motivation to do it.
I enjoyed being your Diva of the day... Kimberly C. Gaines until next time.

She is protest, world warriors in progress


In honor of the birthday of Dr. King and Patrice Lumumba who was assassinated this week, I wanted to showcase sisters, worldwide, lifting their voices and their instruments in protest.

Some of these sisters are ones we know, some are ones we don't, but all are the epitome of dreams, hopes, and aspirations for humanity. I hope you all enjoy this amazing journey this beautiful afternoon.

Thank you to all the folks who called this afternoon giving me kudos, praising the music and women you heard, or generally showing support. Special shout out to Mabet of Habesha Market and Kat Okedeyi of LSP.
