FROM THE SOURCE: Yolanda Zama, Sarah White & Eagle Nebula

FROM THE SOURCE is the fruit of an idea we planted back in the winter. We are all here. Creative women on the same journey carrying the same message. We planted a seed of a female collective based on our mutual love and support for each other's creative work and our desire to grow and blossom together. The world cannot be whole without the balance and the complimentary existence of
the male and female creative force. Our collective energy is like an ancient tree whose roots draw from the heart of the world and whose fruits bear the seeds of future branches of art and music and anything in between.

FROM THE SOURCE is a place where we come together to build and shed our light to the world. It is a celebration of our connection to the Source. We are coming together to reconnect ourselves and help others in their journey to the source within. Love is the message.

On Thursday May 8th, 2008, come meet us and be part of this very special event featuring three amazingly talented performers, Yolanda Zama, Sarah White and Eagle Nebula. This is our inaugural show initiating future collaborations, projects, performances, so stay tuned for our future events. We also invited the beautiful designers of MISSBRUNO to showcase some of the pieces of their new line. To learn more about them, read our interview with them below this post.

EAGLE NEBULA
singer/MC/poet/stylist/educator/activist/supawoman!//////////////////////////////////////
Hailing from Inglewood, Ca via thee great tower of creation, Eagle Nebula springs fourth to bring you joy and truth in the form of magically rhymed verses. Riding on the wavelength that carries the new paradigm of hip hop music like Ashanti royalty, she has come to uphold the very essence of hip hop—a gift from the universe, manifested though ether as sound, to regenerate, inspire and heal. As a crown reminds a queen of her royal place to lead the people, when Eagle Nebula rocks her cosmic headphones, she is reminded of her duty to speak universal truth and bring light to the masses who have been shrouwded in darkness and dispair. Look out for her debut album "Cosmic Headphones" soon to be released on the ePistrophik Peach Sound label, produced by Georgia Anne Muldrow and executive produced by Dudley Perkins.
