the project

I was an orphaned foster child in an underprivileged household in Sacramento, and participating in community shows, art projects, holiday parties, etc., was not a financial possibility.  With Femwinism as our Fiscal Sponsor this year, I am hosting Holiday SLAMtacular, an event dedicated to giving back to foster youth and underprivileged children and families who have not had the opportunity to experience the joy of the season or celebrate the holidays in style.  Through this event, we will welcome families who need support, provide a platform for local artists to share their talent and connect with the community, and support and provide a platform for local vendors to join in and give back to the community.  We will throw them a holiday party providing entertainment, food, games, fun, and much more!  We aim to give the community a chance to experience the joy and long-lasting memories of the holidays that all children deserve.

the steps

In preparation for December 10, 2022, Holiday SLAMtacular, we will have the following timeline:

  • 11/2022: Close guest list

  • 12/10/2022: Holiday SLAMtacular

why we're doing it

Growing up as an orphaned foster child in Sacramento, I did not have the opportunity to experience some of life's most incredible childhood memories, such as training in dance classes, exploring my passion for the arts, being a part of community art showcases, being a member of a community, being invited to, or attending holiday parties, etc.  In creating SLAM, our mission has always been to give back and foster belief in the underprivileged youth and struggling artists in our community and introduce them to the possibilities.  We want to expose them to things their current situation does not allow them to afford and help steer them to a path of positivity, passion, and excellence.  The Holiday SLAMtacular is one pathway we will use to help turn dreams into reality.
