The Young Women's Drumming Empowerment Project

WITNESS THE POWER IN THE VOICES & HANDS OF DC YOUNG WOMEN!

This summer, with the guidance of incredible local female artists, 10 young women from DC discovered the power of the African Djembe, and brought to life their own original poetry, spoken word, songs, and movement choreography to grace the rhythms.
Now, they share the product of their experience in the first-ever public performance of:
