PEACE RALLY/VOLTRON B-DAY BASH 2015
june 7th 2015 - enclave venue, 708 spring street
NIcholas Thomas and his daughter. 4 years ago was the finale of the first season of the Sypher 360 Show. It was also my first time celebrating the birthday of the CEO of Voltron Productions and it was BANANAS, to say the least. Not only was it star studded, but the building was filled to capacity with a record in bottle sales. A-Town Mike and Ling Ling were my co-hosts for the evening, DJ Talib Shabazz and DJ Luv'd were on the ones and twos, Studio Execs were our producers, Gino Payne was lead videographer, and we literally had a stage full of prominent entertainers in the building representing with us that night. I would've never thought, in a million years, that I would end up having 2 of Voltron's babies! We now have a beautiful baby boy, Alaric (3 years old), and a beautiful baby girl, Asilia ( 1 year old). And suffice it to say, as a mother of two kids in diapers, no more Sypher 360 Shows - but the Voltron Productions Birthday Bash sensation has continued.
This year things are quite different. I'm proud of my man. He is using his birthday as a platform to speak out for peace. Proceeds are going to the family of Nicholas Thomas who was fatally shot by police in Smyrna, GA. He left behind a 5 month old baby girl. His brother, Tristan, will be at the rally speaking about how we can bring justice and peace to our neighborhoods. Many people have come together to support this event. It is a concert mixed with speakers that run the gamut of advocates, lawyers, victims of domestic abuse, police brutality, and more. For once, his influence is reaching further than entertainment, but reaching for change. Many local artists as well as artists with national celebrity will be in the building sharing their talent and expressing their needs as young black men/women in America.
I am lucky to have the opportunity to do the red carpet interviews for The Sypher 360 Show, but also host the stage with several acclaimed Atlanta hosts such as 94.5's JAZZY MCBEE and Lil Bankhead. This event is a pre-cursor to the PEACE FEST that we will be doing with our partner Telly Boone from O3C Entertainment for back to school. I'm super excited to be part of these two incredible men's visions and hope to be a catalyst for social change in this country and abroad.
I hope to see you all out there tomorrow. #AllLivesMatter #PeaceFest2015
