Words to Live By: “The Big Exhale,” Farhad Bandesh SUNDAY 1-2pm (EST)

Words to Live By: “The Big Exhale,” Farhad Bandesh SUNDAY 1-2pm (EST)

July 14, 2019 by Stretch

This Sunday from 1-2pm (EST) on Asheville FM:

Farhad Bandesh is a Kurdish luthier/artist/musician/writer who was detained by the Australian government when seeking asylum. He’s been at the detention center on Manus Island off of Papau New Guinea for 6 years now. The conditions there are inhumane and leaving is difficult even after the detention facility is ‘officially’ closed due to its location and the absence of support for those detained. Farhad recently released the song and music video ‘The Big Exhale’ in collaboration with the Melbourne City Ballet and various Australian musicians about his experience there.

Check out the Big Exhale: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hiMsr4eQzVM

Be sure to contact Farhad if you have opportunities to support international artists or if you are interested in collaborating on a project with him.

_____________________________________________
Note also, that in the United States, ICE detains folks seeking asylum in inhumane conditions as well. If you’re in WNC, you can dial CIMA’s hotline to report the presence of ICE: 888-839-2839

#CampGirlBoss on Local Fauna 7.5.19

July 7, 2019 by Kaos Kitty

Join Pryscilla in welcoming local leaders Emily Breedlove and Amber Victoria from Camp Girl Boss!

Entrepreneurship opens the doors to personal transformation for young women in this week long camp experience where participants use a digital framework to explore and express what they care about, and what is needed by their community. Emily and Amber explain how empowerment and the realization of capacity blossom through the process, and how barriers to self-expression are addressed and surpassed. The struggles for girls at this age are complex, especially in our community, where disadvantage can be compounded by the factors of rural life. The framework of the entrepreneurship curriculum they facilitate is deeply experiential, allowing for benefit for a broad range of learners. Their affirmation: “I got this!” Inspiring work from fabulous folks we are lucky to have in our community.

LEADERSHIP + ENTREPRENEURSHIP FOR WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA GIRLS

#CampGirlBoss is a powerful day-camp experience for girls between the ages of 11 – 13 years old, presented by the Sequoyah Fund, a non-profit CDFI located in Cherokee, NC.

In 2018, the inaugural camp was held on campus at UNC Asheville and was taught by some of the most successful women leaders from across WNC. During the summer of 2019, there will be several camps hosted around Western North Carolina. There are opportunities to apply, host, volunteer, and sponsor local Girl Bosses.

Learn more at https://wewnc.com/camp-girl-boss/and https://www.facebook.com/campgirlboss

Spend your summer changing lives : Mentors needed!

Girls can still register and participate at 10 locations in NC, scholarships available thanks to local sponsors.
