Celebrations and honors were what this week entailed for me. I started the week off at the Mixtape Comedy Show where The Mama Luke Foundation, led by Hip Hop Pioneer Kangol Kid, teamed up with host Royale Watkins for a show dedicated to support the awareness of Breast Cancer. It was really great to see all the supporters in the building in addition to special guest who came through such as Bowlegged Lou, Tony Rock, and Grandmaster Dee of Whodini. The show was for a purpose and as a bonus a portion of the proceeds from the nights show will be donated to the American Cancer Society.
