LADIES FIRST
concepts are ever shifting and gathering, but there is a core of:
1. Providing women, trans, gender non-confirming, two-spirit, queerwomen space to be on the mic and practice their skills (visual and spoken)
2. Focus on voice and creation, hip hop or otherwise, to empower and
give voice to individual struggles in a collective, supportive, and community space that centers marginalized voices in communities of color,not in a divisive way, but rather uplifting way.
3. Sustain partnerships, so more people are brought into the space, regardless of gender to hear these voices on stage
4. Stating who we are as CARA, but not prioritizing our story over the people that walk into the space. Meet people were they are at and give
them beauty, temporary relative safety, creativity, and what ever peacethey need to walk into the world with a pleasant memory of the
possibilities and vision of a different future….
5. Change the way "we" view ourselves, safety, and violence (state
and sexual violence)
