Women’s Wellbeing and Development Fundraiser
for the Healthy Living Program
The Four Points Sheraton Hotel
Asheville, NC

I put together a great trio for this event: Mohan Jordan on guitar, Anjali Nemon on djembe, and myself. We played a mix of Indian, Latin American, and Bluegrass music. The trio quickly locked into a groove and held it throughout the evening.

The Healthy Living Program is being launched in an underserved, African American community. It was touching to hear leaders from the community come out and express their hope that this program was going to empower them to create solidarity in their neighborhood. One elder expressed that she wanted to pass on her tradition of cooking to the youth. Another young, single mother, who has come out of a difficult place in life, is ready to give back to the community.

This was a warm gathering – a networking of people from different backgrounds and cultures. I look forward to seeing this project bloom.
