We are wrapping up, but the Fandango is keeping the spirits up as we clean. There is still dancing going on. The play put on by Gabriella Seattle shared with us the stories of Filipino women who have to travel away from their homes to work. It is a story not often heard, and Gabriella shared it wonderfully. There was a spirit of solidarity throughout the entire day, but particularly during the play. Then Maya Jupiter freestyled against police brutality and the prison industrial complex which is a pressing issue in Seattle right now. We had an open mic which showcased all the many voices that represent women who rock from seasoned veteran performers to new voices. Finally, the Fandango is closing out the day by fostering the spirit of community and resilience of Women Who Rock!
