Dear Community, Right now there are a LOT of actions in Oakland, so we're activating to do what we do best -- get out there and drum in the streets-- some of those will be highlighted on BoomShake's Facebook and Instagram pages. We also need to make the space and time to keep practicing our culture, to heal ourselves from this work so we can create healing for others. So..... Wednesday, June 17 - Aunty Monica will start a new session of Tyke Tunes, to create joy and healing for our young ones Monday, June 29 - We're also restarting Adult Community classes (in person, with masks, outside, physically distant) and we'll be focusing on developing a strong repertoire for drumming in the streets at protests. More details on classes below. We know that Black Lives Matter -- that Black lives are necessary, beautiful, vital, worthy. That Back joy and hope and youth and art matter. We'll see you out there. {Drum Workshop for Womxn/Trans/GNC Folks} Mondays, June 29
