July

For my internship’s last project we decide to do an OPEN MIC TOUR of Busboys and Poets, with the theme of “What is your sanctuary.” Our band name was and still is “Cosmic Relief.” Anju Madhok (my coworker) wrote a song named Honey, and I wrote a song named Unravel and we both performed the two songs with accompaniment from Marissa Benson who read a poem and danced, Chris Harris who played the Cajon (a box thingy that is used as a drum-type instrument), and Vy Vu who painted an amazing painting as our backdrop.

  As we planned, so many amazing blessings fell into my lap. The Art Munks which is a group of musicians who are apart of the Sanctuaries asked for Anju and I to help write a song with them and also perform with them at an event on July 18th.  SO THAT HAPPENED. I co-wrote a song and performed with them which was amazing.

  SideBar <> I went to ART TECH HOUSE on 4th of July with my best friend and took pretty cute pictures.

    Sidebar <>The week before the performance my family and I traveled to Disney World in Florida. We went to the Magic Kingdom and Animal kingdom.

That following Saturday after my performance with the Art Munks my best friend and I randomly went to Rehoboth beach and Ocean City for a weekend.

Then BOOM the intern open mic tour began.

July 24th #1 tour date at Busboys and Poets on Monroe street. It went beyond what I could imagine. We toured 3 Busboys and Poets and lit the stage on fire!

Definitely checked that off my goals list.

<Sidebar> went to the Ari Lennox & Wale concert to support Rachela’s Brother who plays piano for Ari.
