The turnout was great. We had over 70 in attendance... the music ran kinda long bit it was alright (great music). The lecture was amazing. He brought us through his experience of his 24 hours in GAZA and it felt like we were there with him. He spoke about some Palestinian rappers he connected with and how he visited the "ghetto". He also talked about the struggles as he did in the article he wrote. It was definitely an eye-opening experience to what is happening in the world we live in. I was totally inspired as was everyone in the audience. If there is a negative, there was one girl who was intoxicated and almost interrupted M1's lecture but that was quickly taken care of, so it wasn't that big of a deal.
The whole event in general was so awesome. The open mic portion came first because M1 came kinda late but it turned out perfect. There actually were no wack rappers on the mic!! We also had some very talented spoken word artists who performed pieces on relevant issues of the night as well as uncensored poems that got the crowd excited, haha! Everyone had a good time. I had an AMAZING time... even though I was trippin at first about the organization... I knew deep down inside everything would turn out fine, and it turned out BETTER than fine. It was nothing but love the whole night. My homie BONES dedicated a song for me and its an amazing song, I felt so much love... people were giving me props for bringing him there, when he came on his own! I met some amazing individuals and connected with them on that HIP HOP tip. An OG Congress Board Member gave me a big bear hug and said thanks for everything I do and told me that I was what they've needed for a long time. I actually got to talk to DLabrie and connect with him. Lots of people gave me props in the best way and their words touched my heart... I was humbled. There was so much great energy and positivity all around the WHOLE night. I didn't get home till almost 4am and I only got like 2 hrs sleep but it was SO worth it.
Wish you coulda gone girl. It really was magnificent...
