What an honor it was to be selected as the closing act for the amazing Jersey City Theater Center Global Gala! My husband Chelo and I put a small team of drummers together for the night. Together with my musical stylings and curated playlist we were able to elevate the energy and bring everyone to their feet! The room erupted with dancing, laughter and clapping. I was so excited that we got to wear our Blue Headdresses. We looked amazing and got so many compliments on our looks. It was a beautiful night celebrating Art, Music and Community. Congratulations to JCTC on a beautiful event!
