SUMMARY:Exhibition:'Redefining the Crown' Art Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:\"Artist’s statement: For centuries\, hair has been critical to how human beings understand racial categories\, gender designations\, and class status. For Black women in particular\, hair has and continues to be tied to ethnic identity and a history of self-determination\, social justice\, and survival. Thus\, chemotherapy-induced hair loss is a devastating event for Black patients who are also more likely to be diagnosed with aggressive breast cancer subtypes necessitating chemotherapy\, carrying a 40% increased risk of dying from breast cancer.\n\nRedefining the ‘crown’: Approaching chemotherapy-induced alopecia among Black patients with breast cancer” started as a manuscript published in the scientific journal Cancer. But the work could not stop there. “Redefining the Crown” then metamorphosed into a photo essay project aimed at exploring the breast cancer journeys of six Black women and their experiences with hair loss due to chemotherapy. Though the project centers the experience of Black women\, we also acknowledge that breast cancer and chemotherapy-induced alopecia impact individuals of all genders. While the goal is to illuminate the unique stories of Black women who are affected uncommonly by this common disease\, the project is also a call to action regarding the disproportionate breast cancer-related mortality facing Black communities.\n\nIn this portraiture series\, photographer Tafari Stevenson-Howard captures the intimate journeys of Ann Chatman\, Tanisha Kennedy\, Felecia McDaniel\, Shantell Elaine McCoy\, Tamara Lynn Myles\, and Veleria Banks. This exhibition examines how these women have navigated the profound impact of hair loss caused by chemotherapy and how their sense of cultural pride and personal identity have been redefined amidst their battles with breast cancer.\n\nThese survivors have redefined their own crowns. More profound than the new hairstyles they don after hair loss are the invisible crowns that they choose to wear each day: gratitude\, faith\, and resilience. What do their words mean to you? Do they empower you to act?\n\nArtist’s name: Versha Pleasant\nWork Title: Image 2\nDate of creation: September 2024\nArtist’s statement: Photo by Tafari Stevenson-Howard\"

SUMMARY:Performance:Justin Roberts
DESCRIPTION:“He has a remarkable ability to see through a child’s eyes… the Judy Blume of kiddie rock.” –New York Times\n\nFive-time Grammy® nominated children’s musician Justin Roberts has been creating the soundtrack to families’ lives for 25 years. Now\, with his 16th full length album\, Space Cadet\, Justin’s rock journey goes interstellar with feel-good songs rooted in themes of inclusion\, acceptance\, and self-discovery. Inspired by his life as a new dad and experiences in isolation\, Space Cadet offers feel-good fun for the whole family. Justin has been praised by the New York Times for his “remarkable ability to see through a child’s eyes…\,” and is known for writing meaningful songs that acknowledge kids’ emotional depth while still letting the fun shine through. In concert\, kids and adults dance it out with Justin and his incredibly talented band\, the Not Ready for Naptime Players\, all while exploring what it means to be yourself and embrace what makes you unique.\n\nJustin is the author of multiple children’s books and is available for author appearances and assemblies. The Smallest Girl in the Smallest Grade\, illustrated by Christian Robinson\, is the story of how one person can make a difference and was inspired by his beloved song\, “Billy the Bully.” In The Great Henry Hopendower\, a young boy remembers his much-loved grandpa and his newest book\, I’ll Be Your Polar Bear\, is a heartwarming story about the lengths a father will go to comfort and protect his child.

SUMMARY:Performance:Howley
DESCRIPTION:The next chapter from the brothers who redefined Irish folk music.\n\nFor over a decade\, David and Martin Howley have been at the heart of a musical revolution. As founding members of We Banjo 3\, the Galway-born brothers brought Irish traditional music to new heights — blending it with Americana\, bluegrass\, and contemporary songcraft to create a sound beloved across the world. Their electrifying live shows\, virtuosic playing\, and brotherly chemistry made We Banjo 3 one of the most celebrated acts on the international folk scene.\n\nNow\, the brothers return with a brand-new project: Howley — a re-imagining of that signature sound for a new era. With Martin’s dazzling mastery on banjo and mandolin and David’s unmistakable voice and rhythmic guitar\, Howley is both a continuation and a renewal — rooted in tradition but reaching fearlessly toward the future.\n\nJoined by two world-class artists\, Kiana June (fiddle\, vocals) and Caitlin Leahy (percussion\, flute\, vocals)\, Howley expands the brothers’ trademark sound with lush harmonies\, fiery fiddle\, and rhythmic flair. The result is warm\, vibrant\, and deeply human — a band that feels both comfortingly familiar and thrillingly new.\n\nMartin Howley\, a seven-time All-Ireland champion and the first Irish banjoist to perform on the Grand Ole Opry\, brings dazzling precision and playful charisma to every performance.\n\nDavid Howley\, known for his soulful voice and magnetic stage presence\, fuses the sensitivity of a songwriter with the power of a rock frontman.\n\nKiana June\, the “fiddle-fueled” virtuoso of Gaelic Storm and Come From Away\, infuses the music with both elegance and fire.\n\nCaitlin Leahy\, an accomplished multi-instrumentalist from the celebrated Leahy’s Luck family\, provides rhythmic heartbeat and shimmering vocal textures.​\n\nTogether\, they form a sound built on connection — the pulse of family\, the spark of shared history\, and the joy of collaboration.\n\nWith Howley\, the brothers have created something new: music that celebrates their past but looks ahead with open arms. Their live show is full of laughter\, harmony\, and heart — the kind of energy that reminds audiences why they fell in love with folk music in the first place.\n​\n“Fans of We Banjo 3 will recognize the spirit — but Howley brings it into a new light: deeper\, braver\, and bursting with soul.”
