I really wanted to post this event earlier but I went to Trader Joe’s to spend my stimulus check and the line was OD, everyone was six feet apart and the line went around the block. Why did everyone pick a rainy Saturday to go food shopping? It’s not like anyone is at work on the weekday.
Nevertheless, tomorrow, after watching church via bedside manor- peep a brunch held by the dope chicks who brought you the Toni Morrison festival. Starting tomorrow, 4/19 till 4/26, you’ll find Instagram Live and Zoom meetings of daily art sessions.
Two New Yorkers and the coFounders of the Toni Morrison Festival, Magogodi oaMphela Makhene and Cleyvis Natera, have designed LOVE As A KIND of CURE, a global movement for healing and action. LOVE As A KIND of CURE kicks off on Sunday, April 19th with a brunch-themed “gathering” over zoom.
Some of LOVE as A KIND of CUR’s kickass line-up includes:
Latin Grammy Award winning all-women mariachi band Flor de Toloache
Taylor Swift’s favourite artist and global (wings) mural artist Kelsey Montague
Lizzo & M.I.A’s favourite feminist slash TED Speaker, musician Madame Gandhi
92ndY Extraordinary Women Award winning Filmmaker Idil Ibrahim
The LOVE As A KIND of CURE starts tomorrow with a brunch kick-off Zoom session and then continues in the week with a heady mix of music, poetry, film and fairytales to lift your heart and expand your mind all week.
Peep the lineup and join creatives who are spreading love during this trying time.
