What a wonderful evening at Benaroya Hall last Friday, with the Healing Heart of the First People of This Land performed by Seattle Symphony after the film screening. My relative, Adia Bowen, was the perfect soloist, such a beautiful voice and presence. My cousin Johnny Moses and his crew provided a beautiful blessing that would have delighted grandma.
It was amazing to see the hall completely full! What a joy to see so many friends and relatives and colleagues, and supporters! My spirit is filled with gratitude for every single person who was part of making it such a successful event, and for everyone who was able to attend and make the evening so memorable. 🥰🫶
