© Long Beach Unity Festival’s Star Search, Saturday, June 9th
Happy Friday, Fam!
What are you doing this weekend?
If you’re in the LaLa, you’re welcome to come out to the Long Beach Unity Festival, founded by our friends, Stephen and Stephanie Adams on Saturday, June 8th, at Admiral Kidd Park, 2125 Santa Fe Ave, Long Beach, CA.
Steve conceived the idea for the festival after the 1992 Los Angeles riots as a way to mend the city’s wounds. There’s a Unity Walk at 8 AM, and the Festival kicks off at 10 AM – 4 PM.
There are free haircuts and free massages. There’s live music, fun, food and booths representing community groups, faith-based organizations, health- care providers, employers and public safety organizations.
Star Search Celebrity Judge
And I’ve been graciously invited to participate as a celebrity judge for the Festival’s Star Search Competition.
Auditions were held throughout the year at Long Beach’s high schools and the contestants will perform at the festival for the title. I love their mission. It’s “to gather diverse youth and young adults of the Greater Long Beach area through positive, artistic expression that empowers, inspires, and compels individuals to personal success.”
Randy, Paula or Simon?
I know this is an American Idol Season 1 analogy, but which of the 3 judges on the panel do you think I’ll most likely be? Randy Jackson, Paula Abdul or Simon Cowell?
What do you think?
You Know Me, Fam!
You know me! I’m at my best, Fam, when I’m “speaking the truth in love” (Eph 4:15) and giving advice to our young artists. I’m frequently asked to judge film festivals and arts festivals, so I’m super thrilled.
If you can’t make it out tomorrow, but you want to give to the cause, the Festival is non-profit. I’m sure you can give through their site above.
Happy Friday, Fam!
And have a great weekend,
Naima
