Carivibe is Coming!

Hey y'all!

This summer's gonna be a BLAST and one of the things I'm really looking forward to is CARIVIBE, here in Ottawa (Orleans) this Saturday. Suzan Lavertu, the awesomest of awesome women (and director of The Cultural Arts Studio School Of Afro-Caribbean Dance - where I shake my thang every Sat) is putting together an amazing opportunity to both have a blast during Carivibe AND raise some awareness and funds for earthquake victims in Haiti. Some information is below - take a browse and e-mail or call me if you're interested. It'd be GREAT to have you join in!

Love and hugs!
