The 4th Annual Can a Sista Rock a Mic? Festival kicks off this Wednesday at Bohemian Caverns. The four-day festival features Alison Carney, Emily King, Liv Warfield, Yazarah and a number of other hip-hop, spoken word, R&B, and electronica artists with shows and events all over town. In addition to empowering the sistas on the stage, the festival will feature a panel discussion on rape and domestic violence and donate all proceeds to Raising Expectations, Inc, a non-profit supporting at-risk youth in D.C. This is a great event, and it is really exciting to see it thrive and return for another year!

    you would think the proceeds for the rape/domestic abuse documentary screening would go to a nonprofit that deals with rape and domestic abuse issues.

    addendum: just went to the raising expectations site and i see the casram founder on the board. guess that answers that. well, it does help the kids…but still….
