Questions Answered - Zoom Call

Saturday January 25th 2025
10 to 10:30 AM
Hi everyone, Linton Vedrene writing. Let me tell you: My experience with the Diasporal Rhythms community has been many things. The word that comes to mind the quickest is excellence. In the hopes of mirroring that excellence, and giving back what I have personally received, I have been working on an enriching trip to Buffalo for the weekend of March 28th. So why Buffalo?! What’s there besides cold, grey skies and big manufacturing?! To give an in depth answer to that question and to lay out the whys and wherefores of this art filled weekend, in the most unexpected of places, it would be my pleasure to gather on Zoom for a short presentation and to answer questions and address your concerns. (I know the weather in Buffalo is at or near the top of the list!)
