Freedom Friday: The Merry Christmas Edition

Posted on December 21, 2012 by ThatKellieGirl

Merry Christmas Beautiful People! :-)

I know some people were waiting to see if the world was going to end, but it didn’t so ThatKellieGirl is very happy to get back to the holidays.

This weekend is the last opportunity to do your last-minute shopping. I will be picking up a small few items for the little kids, but that’s it. I don’t do well with the mayhem of Christmas shopping.  I usually stay far, far way from it. So I will be making an early morning run to avoid any foolishness. Other than that, this weekend is shaping up very nicely.  There are some great events to check out .

You can start with Amel Larrieux at that Howard Theater and Syleena Johnson at Blue’s Alley today (12/21).   And StepAfrika! closes out this weekend at the Atlas Performing Arts Theater.

Catch some other events below!

Peace and Blessings,

ThatKellieGirl :-)

Music Monday (on Tuesday)

Good Morning Good Folks!

For those of you who missed the 121212 Concert, you missed a stunning performance from Alicia Keys.  America’s Darling gave a heartfelt performance of “Brand New Me” and “No One”.  For ThatKellieGirl, it was truly the stand out performance of the concert.  So on the heels of the 121212 Concert, Alicia has released the video for “Brand New Me.”  This is an empowering song for anyone trying to move forward.

And DC’s Darling, Carolyn Malachi released her new video “Free Your Mind” in her efforts to to fund the education of students in developing countries.  For every view of the “Free Your Mind” music video and download of the song via GooglePlay, one hour of class time will be donated to students in East Africa, courtesy of The School Fund’s corporate sponsors. The goal is to provide 10,000 class hours per month for six months.  So let’s get to downloading to help a child.

Hello Good People! 

It is the 11th day out from Christmas, and the pipers are piping  “ThatKellieGirl put up your tree!” :-)   Yes, I have slowly moved into the holiday spirit.  But that’s ok.  I plan to accomplish putting up the tree as well as start making…yes I said it…start making my holiday gifts.  I decided that I wanted to give something unique and directly from me.  Besides, my wedding budget doesn’t have room for holiday gifts!  No seriously though, I want to do something special for my loved one, but I better move fast before the partridge in a pear tree arrives…sheesh! :-)  

To get in the holiday spirit, check out the events below.

Peace and Blessings,

ThatKellieGirl :-)   

And God bless the families recently affected by the mass shootings in Connecticut and Oregon.

africa rising

ThatKellieGirl would’ve loved to travel to South Africa to attend the Africa Rising concert showcasing the music of South African DJ and producer, Black Coffee .  It was a historic day for house music and South African history– celebrating their progress and future at the Moses Mabhida stadium.  However, for those of us who couldn’t make the concert, we are in luck!  You can experience the whole event on the The Africa Rising DVD or  3 disc audio album.

ne'a

ThatKellieGirl is elated to hear new music from the DMV’s own Ne’a Posey.   Posey’s debut album, “This is What I Want Vol. 1″, is soulful, sassy and keeps you wanting more from the singer and songwriter.  Posey is the first artist released under the Suite 301  record label, another arm of LilSoSo Productions.  Suite 301 aims to highlight and feature the musical talents of artists in the Maryland area.  

Congratulations to Ne’a Posey and many more blessings to come! :-)
