NEW YORK, NY – September 2008 – The Hip Hop Culture Center announces The Impact of Women in Hip Hop, an exclusive event honoring women who have leaped across barriers and blazed a trail in the Hip Hop industry.
Set to take place on Saturday, October 4th at The Hip Hop Culture Center, 2ND Floor of the Magic Johnson Theater on 2309 Frederick Douglass Blvd in Harlem USA, the 2008 first annual Tribute will induct legends officially into the Hip Hop Culture Center, while recognizing the generation of women following in their footsteps. Featuring The Hypnotized Dance Company and The Hand, an African drum and dance group, The Ladies in Hip Hop Fashion Show, Lyrical Showcases, Film Screenings and a Graffiti Tribute. The Hip Hop Culture Center of Harlem will make history with this Multi-Media Exhibition, bringing the evening to a culmination with The legendary Ralph McDaniels who will be video mixing the best of women in Hip Hop, showcasing his one of a kind archive of all of the females who have impacted Hip Hop.
Cindy Campbell: The talented 1st Lady of Hip Hop. Cindy Campbell is the catalyst for the humble beginnings of Hip Hop. Cindy had a vision to organize a back to school party. Little did she know that her party, DJ'd by her now famous brother, the legendary founder of Hip Hop, Kool Herc was to become known as The Beginning of Hip Hop.
Sha Rock: Sha-rock, the 1st Pioneer Luminary Emcee, originally from the group known as The Funky Four Plus 1, has created a legacy for generations of females to look up to. Her trailblazing work as a Hip Hop artist deserves its rightful place in history.
Gamilah-Lamumba Shabazz: The fourth of Malcolm X's daughters, Gamilah has continued her father's legacy of empowerment and education through her work with urban youth and her use of Hip Hop as a platform for her message of unity and change.
Sheri Sher of Mercedes Ladies: Sheri Sher is a founding member of The Mercedes Ladies, the first all-female MC and DJ crew in the history of hip hop. Sheri has also worked in the psychiatry and criminal justice fields, and she frequently speaks to young women about self-empowerment. She lives in Harlem U.S.A. and has recently published Mercedes Ladies, the novel.
Jazzy Joyce: This Bronx native began breaking down "male only" DJ doors in the early 80's. Inspired by her family and the emerging Hip Hop scene, she bought a pair of turntables, honed her skills and never looked back. Since breaking down the gender door she has made a name for herself that you're sure to recognize. She has also blazed the path for up and coming young women interested in breaking into the Hip Hop world.
Tamekia Flowers: Founder and president of Hip Hop 4 health, a non profit organization dedicated to use hip hop to promote health awareness. Hip Hop 4 health partners with health industry professionals to educate tweens (8-12) and teens (13-17) on health issues through interactive workshops, health fairs, concerts and empowerment seminars.
Amanda Diva: An accomplished poet, journalist, radio & television personality, scholar (she has a Master's degree in African-American Studies), singer, and lyricist, Amanda Diva is definitely the best kept secret in female emcees.
Danyel Smith: Smith is a former editor at large for Time Inc. and the former editor in chief of Vibe. She has also written for the Village Voice, Rolling Stone, Spin, the San Francisco Bay Guardian , and the New York Times. Smith is on the part-time faculty at the New School University and wrote the introduction for the New York Times' bestseller Tupac Shakur.
Dream Hampton: A Hip-Hop journalist who in 1990 became the first woman on staff at The Source magazine, she has penned essays on misogyny, police brutality and global issues. As a contributing writer at Vibe, she wrote career defining articles. Her essays and articles have appeared in a dozen anthologies.
The Impact of Women in Hip Hop will celebrate the successes and contributions of women in Hip-Hop through art exhibitions, film screenings, special performances and key note speeches. Additionally, this event will be used as a platform to educate and empower the community. There will be a voter's registration drive, free HIV screenings, and countless resources on site to promote heath and wellness.

2008 is a year to celebrate – Reggae Carifest turns 10 this year.
So, we made it past the so-called seven-year itch and now we are looking forward to a great milestone, our ten-year anniversary. This marks a great moment in the lives of reggae lovers the world over. Taking a moment to reflect on all that we have accomplished and now we are ready to celebrate the one-decade mark on Sunday July 6, 2008 at the USTA Arthur Ashe Tennis Center.
2008 is a year to celebrate our history, our accomplishments, our community and our future. We have laid the groundwork for another great 10 years, years where we can influence each other for the better, demonstrate what openness, transparency and broad participation look like, marvel at the distributed excitement and fierce dedication to the Reggae Carifest vision for The Planet, The People, The Arts and our Survival, and do things we haven’t even dreamed up yet.
This summer cultural activity to attend in New York City will once again be granting you the opportunity to have the rewarding social experience you have been awaiting. We will be offering a social and/or personal encounter with artists you love. It promises to be relaxing and educational, highlighting the many things we as a people can do to bring about change for a better. As the producer D’Niscio says: “Reggae Carifest is not just an Event it is more so a place to go if your into “having fun”, a “good time’ or “meeting new people”.
In its tenth year, Reggae Carifest has decided to get you more involved. We want to know your desires and showcase the artists you long to see. We have set up a hot line 718 856 3336 to take your calls, voice your opinions and basically let us know how Reggae Carifest has impacted your life. You can always text the word Carifest to 23907 for up to date info. If it’s more convenient you can always log onto www.reggaecarifest.com and let your voice be heard. Free from hate, mischief and jealousy don’t bury your heart; make your dreams a reality – Bob Marley.
The Reggae Carifest Experience is an explosion of Cultural exhibitionism. You are invited to take part in this celebration of Culture. Past shows are as vivid today as the original dates when talked about. Our legacy has excited a passion in our loyal attendees that revel in the memories of our year-to-year captivating presentations allowing for a continuous growing attendance. It truly is a festive occasion enjoyed by an eclectic strain of folks spanning all walks of life.
Looking back to the inaugural event launched in 1998 at the Forest Hills Stadium in Queens, and monitoring its growth as it moved through venues such as The Keyspan Park, Arthur Ashe Tennis Stadium and Randall’s Island Park.
The luster of our event’s illumination continues to shine as the beacon occurrence of all that is diverse, catering to any and all that appreciate authentic cultural expressions and aesthetics. In this sphere we dominate the playing field, we at Team Legendary seek to out do our past year’s productions going into each “Carifest”. This mandate was impressively achieved at “Reggae Carifest 2k5” where we were the first promotional company in America to film a West Indian concert in large scale in High Definition and Dolby 5.1 digital surround sound. Team Legendary is opening roads for the West Indian genre with the support of its community and the artists, steadfastly keeping the foundation ever present in today’s ever changing market.
