The #Standing4BlackGirls Music and Poetry concert festival will feature original multi-genre music and spoken word performances by Black female-identifying and queer artists. Headlined by internationally acclaimed singer-songwriter-guitarist Malina Moye, the event will raise awareness about disproportionate gender-based violence experienced by Black women and girls in L.A. County and beyond, while providing powerful testimony to the lived experiences and creativity of local and national Black women artists, musicians, and BIPOC community allies. This event is sponsored by the Women’s Leadership Project, a Black feminist mentoring, advocacy and civic engagement organization based in Los Angeles, in partnership with Black Skeptics Los Angeles.
Featured musicians include Mystical Joyride, Naomi Wilson, Sonja Rene, Tamia Elliott, AYEL, Javen Lara, Ella Faye, the Maurock Music Academy, the WLP tribe and DJ Killa Hutch.
This all ages event is sponsored by Black Skeptics Los Angeles and is partly made possible by a grant from the Culver City Cultural Affairs Commission.
Doors open at 3pm. This all ages event is free and open to the public. Tickets are available here: https://events.humanitix.com/standing4blackgirls-music-and-poetry-festival/tickets
