Sister Bohemia Takes Bohemian Caverns - April 22

Sister Bohemia Takes Bohemian Caverns

April 22

Bohemian Caverns

11^th & U Street, N.W., Washington, DC 20009

8 p.m. 

www.bohemiancaverns.com

Experience the rapture of Sister Bohemia. Hosted by Simone Jacobson, this event is a must-see, featuring musical guests, Tamika “Love” Jones and Carolyn Malachi.

Tamika Love Jones, a DC native and representative in her own right, charms music lovers with a gospel-jazz tonality aimed to touch the soul. Her development into music after losing loved ones to drugs and violence deems Jones’ art even more imperative as it penetrates the lives of young people, the heart of her community. Invited to work with the likes of artists Faith Evans, Mya and Grammy Award Winner, songwriter, Denise Rich, Jones is no stranger to the prospect of stardom; still, she walks her own path, performing at live festivals, private events, and especially community affairs, where her music moves the hearts and hopes of many.

Moving and shaking her audience, not to mention the jazz genre altogether, is Smart Chicks Inc. founder and poster chick, Carolyn Malachi. Having finished a February tour in sunny South Africa, only to bring a hot spell to Georgetown’s Blues Alley, the trailblazer makes her way to Bohemian Caverns, where the day is hot, but the night will blaze. Also a Maryland-DC dweller, Malachi continues to advance theRevenge of the Smart Chicks movement with what she calls a “haute-eclectic-soular-blues.” Great-granddaughter to jazz pianist, John Malachi, and acclaimed activist as well, Carolyn Malachi is nothing short of a headliner.

Also on Deck

Tamika and Carolyn will be styled by Madia Willis, designer and owner of BiriBelle clothing. The afrochic clothing line was inspired by Willis' study abroad experience in Ghana. The BiriBelle logo comes from the symbol “hye wonhye,” (shay-wo-en-shey) meaning “permanent or unburnable.” It’s no question, Willis is here to stay.

This event is sponsored by Fusicology, Mr. Briggs Management, BiriBelle Clothing, and Smart Chicks Inc. Tickets are $10 in advance, $15 at the door. The event commences at Bohemian Caverns, 8p.m. on 11^th and U Street, April 22, 2010.

Artists Take The Lead: Winter Clothing Drive, Letter Writing Campaign, And Music Video Shoot

WASHINGTON, DC - When the nation celebrates the birthday Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr, on January 18^th, musicians, poets, actors, photographers, and artists of all stripes will lead a community call to action as a part of the “Live. Give. Bloom.” day of service at BloomBars, a Washington DC-based non-profit organization that works to inspire and unite communities through the arts while nurturing artists committed to serving the community. 

The effort is being led by Carolyn Malachi, Artist-in-Bloom Resident Fellow, and founder of Smart Chicks, Inc., a national non-profit arts organization with a mission to advance visibility and leadership for women in the arts.  

What:   Artists rally for day of service to bring winter clothes to needy families and a wheel chair ramp to BloomBars.

The video will chronicle the activities taking place during “Live. Give. Bloom.” All are invited to bring warm clothes to donate and a pen or a laptop for a letter writing campaign to bring a wheel chair ramp to BloomBars. 

      When:      Monday, January 18th, 2010. 12:00pm to 4:00pm. 

    Where: BloomBars, 3222 11th Street, N,W. Washington, D.C. (Columbia Heights Metro)

Carolyn Malachi (A Brief Bio)

Hailing from Washington, DC, Carolyn Malachi, great-granddaughter of jazz pianist John Malachi, has created a modern infectious gumbo of jazz, hip-hop, and spoken word music. Revenge of the Smart Chicks III: Eclectic Company (July 2010) is third in a series of stirring, genre-bending CDs, the first of which spawned the Revenge of the Smart Chicks movement and non-profit called Smart Chicks Inc. The organization is dedicated to developing visibility and leadership opportunities for women in the arts.

First, a Marriage. Then, an Introduction.

Gather here. Witness the marriage of the business of willful self-definition to the pleasure of self-discovery.

While the latter will surely tickle the imaginations of a few newcomers, card-carrying members of the Revenge of the Smart Chicks (ROTSC) movement know that being a Smart Chick or Clever Dude means making a daily, smart decision to be yourself.

Allow the writer, just for this blog post, to write in first-person perspective. She deserves an introduction any way. My name is Carolyn Malachi. I am a performing artist, graphic designer, communicaions specialist, and event producer. Revenge of the Smart Chicks was just a sassy title I crafted for my first CD which I released in September of 2008. It has since become the global network of artists, educators, and entrepreneurs from which I launched Smart Chicks, Inc., a non-profit organization that sources creative professionals to corporate opportunities. Smart Chicks, Inc., the Smart Chicks network, and the music I create with the Revenge of the Smart Chicks theme comprise the Revenge of the Smart Chicks movement.

For settled members of ROTSC who have been migrated from our previous blog format, allow me room to 'splain. I am in my first year of graduate studies pursuing my MFA in Integrated Design. For my first class, Words & Images, one of my responsibilities is to maintain a professional, course-relevant blog. Our ROTSC community is the right audience.

I look forward to sharing the knowledge and skills that I learn throughout my academic and artistic journey. Know that you can also visit this blog to enjoy social commentary, access my performance schedule and, if you like, cretique my homework assignments. Visit this blog to connect to the rest of the Smart Chcks network as well.

That's enough informality for now. It's time I get to my first assignment:
"We're Eating What?"
Describe a food ingredient. The description should be informed by a definite purpose and shaped by a clear sense of an intended audience.

Hmmm, I think I'll use Kanye West's cheesy antics at the VMA's as inspiration.
