Voice of Da City

Continuing to push the Culture forward, J’TA is one of the new faces of Gogo Music taking the nation’s capitol by storm. From the hit CCB single “Optimistic”, to rocking Noochie’s “Front Porch Freestyles” with TOB, to headlining the Women of Gogo performances at the Mayor’s Keep the Beat Week celebration at the Alumni Spot. The Voice of the city is bringing that soul of Gogo back into the spotlight and deserves all the praise she’s getting.

One Time For The Camera Man

In a world where your instagram profile is as important as your resume and every moment is documented whether its a birthday fit or a night out with the gang. But with everyone having a camera phone, the lack of respect for actual photographers is at an all time high lol.That being said, one of the greatest things about the Alumni is the Professional Photo Booth and being able to get that printed photo like back in the Gogo. Maybe its me being “old” but that was our first IG, a wall full of Gogo pictures.

Black on the Block

Two weeks ago Stefon Diggs threw a Black Owned Marketplace in the middle of the City at Franklin Park with LA Black Owned Brand Builder out of LA, Black on the Block. The LA Based event ran by Char Edwards, and her sister if I’m not mistaken. Char actually modeled for the GoonMilk brand a few years ago when she was an undergrad at Howard before moving to LA. The event was flooded with good vibes and a ton of vendors. I wish I knew earlier it was gonna be such a great turnout, I would’ve had a table out there but sometimes being a customer is cool to especially when everything’s black owned.

Mama I made it!

If you read my blog you know I recently was apart of LongLiveGogoDC’s Mumbo Connection Fashion Show at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. Not only did I walk in my first fashion show but had the opportunity to have my own scene to present my brand as well. It was a last minute opportunity I wasn’t gonna pass up.

Would You Just Accept it If we Murdered your Children?

This weekend the entire world has erupted in Protest against the egregious acts of not only our Law enforcement, but our President, and Racism as a whole. I spent it walking the walk and talking the talk with my people in protest and documenting everything in our nations capital, Washington DC . The media will try to portray this as anarchy and mayhem, which it was, but there was a lot of love and compassion for those being wronged and standing up for themselves in a system that has continuously held them under a bending knee. The feeling of togetherness, family, and raw emotion from so many different creeds of people at one time was a vibe you could never create and Im proud of every single person that came out and continues to cry out for the rights and just treatment of all people but specifically Black people in America. We built this country and most certainly can tear it down! Im still rooting for whoever looting! they side eye us when we come in their stores, refuse to hire us, won’t stand with us and use the stores as a shelter for aiding protesters, but Im supposed to put a business with insurance for these type of things priority over human life? NAH. Take this L America and do right by the people who fuel this country or watch it burn, fuck it Im riding wit mines…
