Well everyone, my summer has come to a close and I’m no longer in DC. I had to leave early 1) for a mini research project I’m doing at home and 2) because I have to go back to school early for job training and to help with move-in (I’m a Resident Assistant). I’m so going to miss seeing all your lovely faces! I wish I didn’t have to go…but the rest of life and the responsibilities that come with it have called me back to deal with them.

My last workshop with YWDEP was on Thursday, and the girls helped to surprise me with fruit salad!! As Miss K will tell you, I love fruit; so that was the perfect present =) Thanks so much guys! We talked about our ideas for the big picture of the show, and at the end Milan, Deja and Malaika worked on a rhythm that they created. They made me so proud! All of the girls have made me proud; I can’t believe how much they’ve grown as musicians and as a community over the past few weeks. Hopefully I’ll be back for the show in August. Until then, stay safe and keep it rhythmic. Deuces!

yay fruit salad!
