Strong Women Strong Music 2019

What an amazing experience! I'm so grateful I got to be a part of it all!

Thanks to everyone that came out to this year's Strong Women Strong Music!

"Come and help us celebrate International Women’s Day! Join us on the 5th, 6th and 7th of March for the 13th annual Strong Women Strong Music concert series, featuring West Coast’s most prominent women jazz musicians singing up support for Enterprising Women Making Art (EWMA), a program of Atira Women’s Resource Society. Revel in the voices and music of these talented artists while investing in the soul and spirit of the Downtown Eastside, where EWMA helps art and empowerment bloom.

One hundred percent of all proceeds will go to EWMA.

For 16 years EWMA, provides safe, income-generating opportunities for women who are struggling with poverty, substance use and or mental wellness, and who have been impacted by violence / abuse; opportunities that are free from exploitation and judgement. EWMA is a place that for many women, makes hope possible.
