Today we are joined by two great dancers, Yaminah Legohn and Essence Revealed, who stop by the studio to talk about their history in burlesque and the overall presence of women of color in the dance community. Yeah, it’s pouring in NYC, but it’s lit in here.
#MotivationMonday
TK and Conscious start out the show by talking about the weekend and all the lit things going on. TK also got serviced by an underachieving manicurist.
In #NewsYouCanUse:
-The United States performed an airstrike on Syria. What does it mean and what are the repercussions?
-2 Black men arrested unjustly at Starbucks in Philadelphia.
-Sex workers endangered as laws are passed to take down websites
-Beyonce made history with her performance at Coachella
Following #ChatroomCheckin, we took our show dancing. Yaminah and Essence tell us about their story in the world of dancing. Women of color tend to be seen a certain way, but our guests have been building a world where that is changing. Burlesque is art, and Black is beautiful.
Let our guests take you dancing.
