FEMME2010 in Oakland

January 19th, 2010 | Author: Miz Chris

Dear Community Members,

Finances are tight for all of us these days, particularly for community-supported events requiring travel and lodging, like the Femme Conference. After a great deal of effort and research, we have determined that it is not financially possible for us to hold the 2010 Femme Conference in Atlanta as we had hoped to do. We are incredibly hopeful for our future as an organization, but we believe that Atlanta would be cost prohibitive to both the members of the Steering Committee and to the larger Femme Conference constituency. We realize this is a disappointment for many of us.

However, we have decided that rather than skip a year, we have the resources to hold the Femme Conference in Oakland in 2010. We are tremendously excited at the prospects of holding a conference in the city we had originally chosen for the very first Femme Conference (we ended up in San Francisco as a result of financial considerations, so this feels like a full-circle in some ways)!

We appreciate your understanding and your continued support. All details about hotel, dates and calls for submission will be announced at the beginning of February. We are excited and we hope you are too!

Femme Collective

Hello!

I wanted to you let you know about a very exciting event is taking place for women of color this year in New Orleans.  The Femme of Color Symposium is an event created by women of color for women of color who self-identify as FEMME. 

FOCS2010: Celebrations and Reflections, the inaugural symposium for
FEMMES of COLOR, will create the opportunity-through workshops,
community building/social activities, presentations, panels, and/or
performances-to uncover and discover our similarities, our differences,
our needs and how to support one another. It will serve as a launch
point for a real-time and virtual nation-wide network of diverse
individuals, prompt dialogue, and empower us to cultivate, sustain, and
celebrate the vibrant connections we have made among femmes of color.

Check out the rest of the email for information about the hotel, our call for submissions and quick links to our Facebook, registration and website pages.  REGISTER TODAY to take advantage of our Early Registration Rate!

Three days of workshops, 2 keynotes, 1 great evening event and 100s of Femmes of Color rockin’ the Bayou in the French Quarter in historic New Orleans.  This is going to be a weekend to remember.  I hope to see you there!

Miz Chris
FOCS2010 Co-Chair

The Astor Crowne Plaza is located at the Gateway to the French Quarter
where Canal Street meets Bourbon Street. The excitement of the French

Real Talk w/Kiki and Miz Chris - Dec 14th Show Teasers

December 14th, 2009 | Author: Miz Chris

Show airs on KPFA 94.1 @ 1pm Pacific Time

Review by REX STONE

In the game of hip-hop you certainly have to do a lot to be original because there are so many artist that think outside the box. If Mack Mistress was able to hit the mainstream then Missy Elliot better start looking for a new job. This San Francisco Bay Area native is the answer to the age old question can female emcees spit just as hard and deliver like the boys, well with the release of “Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop” we definitely have an answer. This west coast representative is not playing any games with her quick delivery, ability to change style from one song to the next and then spit a hot 16 that would make Source Magazine want to post them!

From the beginning to the end of the CD you know that Mack Mistress is a well-developed artist that has taken time to put together a solid product. This album goes from hip-hop to rock-hop while all at the same time keeping its California style. It almost feels as if you were at Lake Merritt in Oakland on a Saturday in ’93! Not since Yo-Yo has the west put out a female that could represent like this. The lyrics, delivery, tracks, and production quality on this album are on point and rival most homo-hop releases to date.

Filled with street anthems, bay area hyphy songs, ladies sing-a longs, and hip-hop bangers this CD has it all. Mack Mistress has laid the foundation that will stand the test of industry time. Check out the killer tracks, “If You Want Too”, “Where My Girls At”, “Go Crazy”, and “Stand Up”. This is one album that has opened up the game for all of the other female rappers in the out hip-hop movement! Finally a rapper that has taken time to please the audience and not themselves!

Check out a teaser from Real Talk w/Mack Misstress airing Dec. 14th

Felice Archbold created FreshVibe Media out of the acknowledgement of the Bay Area’s ridiculous talent. The Bay is breeding ground to one of the most profound and richly diverse cultural scenes. We are dope artists and technologies’ innovators, and deserve to be scene as we are. FreshVibe Media’s design is to inspire, unite and build with these originators by developing and executing the blueprint of their creative dream. We’re here to challenge tradition, create new paths and continuously redefine the future of music and entertainment business with a fresh innovative style. Check out a teaser from Real Talk w/Felice airing Dec. 14th
