Docs We Love :: All the Ladies Say
My B-Girling has taken a slower road than I thought (I proudly am up to 85 pushups a day, though). A good reminder to get my ass back in gear, however, is the documentary All The Ladies Say, directed by Rokafella, produced by Full Circle Productions with music by Kwikstep. I´ve been blessed to work with Rok and am moved by the team´s love and commitment to pushing the project forward. From dance floor to the home, the film tracks several B-Girls moving crowds stateside and abroad. It´s a perspective rarely acknowledged and for any lover of music or dance—especially if you consider yourself a hip-hop head—ATLS needs to be on your radar.
The final stages of production are coming up! A NY screening will be held at Dance New Amsterdam to help raise funds. Q & A will follow, and the evening closes out with live music and dance for everyone to work out their moves. Spread the word, show some love, and pay respect to the B-Girl. Admission $10. Learn more about the herstory of the project at www.alltheladiessay.com or www.fullcirclesoul.com.

Books We Love: The Audacity Of Humanity E-Book
by contributing artist jennifer cendaña armas
It went like this: I received an email.
It presented the idea of an e-book to be released by the end of the “United Nations Week of Solidarity” with the Peoples Struggling Against Racism and Racial Discrimination.
It called for submissions transforming conversations of difference – whatever that would mean to the creator.
I appreciated the chance to share some of my work. Thanks to Kyra D. Gaunt who spearheaded this.
It´s out! Please check it & enjoy. Visuals, essay- todo. (My poem can be found on pgs. 27- 28). 35 contributors total. Share the wealth, pass the word.
Photographers We Love :: Matilde Campodónico
By contributing artist Jennifer Cendaña Armas
Matilde Campodónico: my favorite photographer and a friend I love. Her use of space is wondrous to me, the shapes of her subjects are so crisp, and a sense of curiosity always seems to peek out. I can´t help but think, ¨She is meant to be doing this.¨
I first discovered her photos of musicians. A touch of Google and I found work ranging from past exhibitions to current events photos in The Associated Press. After more Googling and some praying, I had my own session with Mati in Uruguay, where she resides. She is just as fabulous in person as I hoped (and also one great tour guide of Montevideo).
