I am part of the Black HIV Coalition in Minneapolis, and together with our partner, MAAAH (Minnesota African/African-American Women Initiative) we are planning an incredible event on November 30th, 2012 at the Capri Theatre, 2027 W. Broadway Ave., Minneapolis, MN.
- Jamar Rogers
The evening will include "The Brother Circle Dinner" and the "Sarah Simmons Showcase."
- LaMont Wheat
We have two dynamite celebrity guests coming to both events. Jamar Rogers of NBC "The Voice" and LaMont Wheat, Recording Artist and Activist will be participating in our Brother Circle Dinner discussion and performing at the Showcase.
I'm be blogging daily about these events right up until they happen. Please check back for daily updates.
Yesterday our coalition met, and new people came to the table to help us with our event. Our biggest discussion was the T-Shirt design. Attendees of either event will receive a free t-shirt custom designed for this event. They are awesome!
I'm proud to say LaMont is a friend and a source of inspiration in my life. He's also an incredible singer. I had the pleasure of watching him perform in Washington, D.C. at the International AIDS Conference in July, 2012.
Jamar has a wonderful energy and a show-stopping voice. He has also become an effective activist for eliminating HIV stigma in our community.
Can you tell how excited I am? If you are in the area, or even if you need to fly there, you should come to this event.
Best,
Bill
