SUMMARY:Film screening: 'Mad Skillz and the 90s Girl Brunch'
DESCRIPTION:Legendary songwriter\, producer\, rapper\, and MC Mad Skillz (Shaqwan Lewis) has now added another professional credential to his resume: filmmaker. See the documentary\, “Mad Skillz and the 90s Girl Brunch” (2024) that chronicles the artist’s  experience building a community of music lovers via the Internet during Covid.  \nSkillz has long been recognized as a pioneer in the hip-hop world\, from his early days as an emerging rapper signed to Timbaland’s label\, to touring with icons like Missy Elliott and DJ Jazzy Jeff. Further\, Skillz’s recognition of music as a tool to convene diverse communities has been a mainstay. In addition to his own music (he has seven studio albums)\, the songs he has penned or produced for others\, including names like Diddy and Will Smith\, his creation of the show Hip Hop Confessions\, and his role as an instructor at the University of Richmond\, he is always innovating while preserving the legacy of Black music and culture. \n“My hope is that people come away from this film realizing that music can still bring us together and not only bring us together\, but keep us together\,” Skillz says. When asked to explain the unique phenomenon of the “90s Girl Brunch\,” which had followers tuning in religiously for a dose of sonic salvation\, Skillz notes\, “Your imagination can take you places that travel can’t.”  \nViewers of the film will see how a weekly online DJ set became much more–building friendships that were planted online but bloomed in real life. \nThe film will be followed by a Q&A moderated by Amy Carleton\, professor (MIT)\, writer\, and co-creator of the Black Notes Project. The screening is presented in conjunction with Black Notes Project. \n

SUMMARY:Members Meet The Artist: Ajané K. Williams
DESCRIPTION:Members are invited to enjoy a discussion and walking tour with Ajané K. Williams showing her Constellation CLT series Sublimations of Spacetime. Ajané K. Williams is a Gen Z Afro-futurist painter\, performance DJ\, and video artist. Sublimations of Spacetime provides a twilight zone of enigmas reimagined such as UFOs\, ancestral spirits\, wormholes\, and landscapes of higher dimensions. Williams’s instinctive fascination with unseen entities behind the veil and otherworldly civilizations sparked her mission to use her work as a catalyst to promote spiritual healing and consciousness evolution in a present world of chaos on Planet Earth. This discussion will provide insight into how the metaphors of her paintings spark an introspective intervention on humanity and the next step of our evolution in the astrological Age of Aquarius.

SUMMARY:Dancing With the Stars of Charlotte Gala
DESCRIPTION:Mint board member Charlotte Wickham is dancing with Charlotte Ballet dancer Humberto Ramazzina to benefit The Mint Museum in Dancing With the Stars of Charlotte. Wickham is one of six Charlotte community leaders paired with  professional dancers from Charlotte Ballet that will take the stage at Knight Theater to raise money for Charlotte Ballet and other local charities. \nWickham has earmarked funds raised to support museum admission for Charlotte-area K-12 school children and post-secondary school students. She believes in the power of arts and exposure to cultural activities to make a positive and effective impact on the happiness and health of children and members of our community. \n“I’ve always thought that arts and culture are an important part of learning for children\,” Wickham says. “I grew up in Raleigh. My family often went to the ballet\, the symphony\, and to the museums. That was such a rich part of our life. Many studies show how art\, dance\, and music help develop children’s brains and help them to think in different and more critical and creative ways\,” she says.\n$1=1 VOTE\nVote is open to anyone online in advance of the event. Donations and support for Charlotte and Humberto will be split 50/50 to support The Mint Museum and Charlotte Ballet. \nThe top vote-getter ($1 per vote) receives the People’s Choice Award. Dancers who wow the judges with the “best moves” are awarded the Judge’s Choice recognition. Since 2013\, Charlotte Ballet’s Dancing with the Stars of Charlotte Gala has raised more than $10 million including nearly $4.5 million for local charities. Funds raised via ticket sales per dance pair are divided equally between the pair’s designated charity and the Charlotte Ballet.
