The performance will feature DMV soul singer Ka’Ba and vocalist Marci Butler Holt of Nashville, Tenn., a former co-chairperson of the National Arts & Letters Commission of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority.
Concert proceeds will enable DREF to increase its capacity to provide community empowerment grants, support learning opportunities for young African-American women like the Stephanie Tubbs Jones Summer Internship program offered in conjunction with the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation.
“It’s experiences such as this one that help direct the future of African-American women interested in pursuing careers in public policy through public service,” Lattimore said.
