The Young Women's Drumming Empowerment Project (YWDEP)
invites young women ages 13-18 to an info session on
Saturday, June 2, 12-3 p.m. at St Stephens Church,
1525 Newton St NW (Columbia Heights metro/S2-S4
Busline.)

YWDEP uses drumming, spoken word poetry, song,
movement and performance to empower young women's self
expression, self esteem, communication and leadership
skills. YWDEP also strives to create a safe space for
a diverse group of young women to build camaraderie
and acceptance.

The info session will include an introduction to
drumming with Founding Director Kristen Arant, and
will feature interactive presentations from our summer
instructors Michelle Sewell, Regie Cabico, Sage Xaxua
Morgan-Hubbard, Anu Yadav and the Princess of
Controversy. Snacks will be provided, and young women
who entered the project in 2005 and 2006 will share
their experiences and answer questions.

YWDEP is now accepting applications for its third
annual Summer Enrichment Program. The program runs
from June 16-August 26 2007 and includes expressive
arts activities on Saturday afternoons; drumming
workshops on Wednesday evenings; peer mentoring and
team building; and four final performances open to the
general public. Applications are available on our
website - www.youngwomendrum.org - or by mail or email
on request.

Please forward this announcement to any young woman
who might be interested.

Many thanks,
