Beginning February 28th, of my favourite local festivals kicks off its eighth year: the Sistahood Celebration brings together an amazing array of performances, exhibits, workshops & events by female artists, in honour of International Women’s Day. It’s a fab blend of music, poetry, dance, theatre, and art that is produced by some truly wonderful women. Rachel Flood, Vanessa Richards, Anna Hilliar, Sara Kendall and many more lovely ladies have made this year’s celebration a must-see month of events.

The fest launches with a show by one of my favourite female rappers - the incomparable, buttery flow of Bahamadia - who will be throwing down at the newly revamped Biltmore Cabaret. Tickets are now on sale, so if you’re in the Vancouver area, make sure you support this local goodness.

Grace, Power and Eloquence, that is what Bahamadia brings to the stage. Credited by many as one of the original MCs to put Philly on the map we are honoured to have her with us and look forward to launching the festival on February 28th at the Biltmore Cabaret with her lyrical gifts and energetic shifts! nice.
