I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me



The Mission of POW-WOW, Inc. is to support, develop and increase the visibility of women artists particularly those of color in an effort to create social change and gender consciousness around issues of media representation, inclusive cultural arts documentation and political awareness of how we fit in the scope of global affairs

I am a Woman
I am an Artist
I am of African descent
It is not triple jeopardy
I share all three of these equally


My Interests

I'd like to meet:

The vision will be to provide and create performance and writing opportunity for writers, male and female to address the social justice issues concerning women particularly those issues that affect women in the multi linguistic regions of the African Diaspora.
