More about the artists:
Aima the Dreamer has been rockin’ crowds from Oakland to Barcelona, as a vocalist and MC with groups such as Femme Deadly Venoms, J-Boogie’s Dubtronic Science, Goddess Alchemy Project, and Jazz Mafia. All of this in addition to her own solo project has given her a variety of outlets with which to harness her energy as not only a talented MC, poet, and vocalist, but also as a strong, feminine woman who easily holds her own amongst a male-dominated industry. She has opened up for and been on the bill with such greats as Talib Kweli, Roy Ayers, Nneka, Robert Glasper, Mc Lyte, Les Nubians to name a few. She is currently with Femme Deadly Venoms alongside DJ, turntabalist, producer, and vocalist Lady Fingaz in a sweet gumbo of Hip Hop, Funk, Soul, and Electronica. This dynamic duo shares a musical point of view that spans space and time. A refreshing balance between smart and sultry lyrics over smoking hot beats. Lady Fingaz and Aima the Dreamer invite the world to experience their music as a journey and not a destination.
Jada Imani is a workshop facilitator, MC, and co-founder of the Tatu Vision movement. She works towards a vision of regenerative communities through her performance and healing arts. Jada builds coalitions with communities of poets, hip-hop heads, entrepreneurs, and permaculturists alike. She curates and hosts at least two events on behalf of Tatu Vision each month. These events are intentional, donation-based, and all ages.
