Warriors, Howlers & Fools, I’m currently in Wash

Warriors, Howlers & Fools, I’m currently in Washington, DC., to speak on a panel at @howard1867 for the @moorlandhu International Black Writers Festival. 😳🤯🥹

It’s taken a while for me to post this because I’ve been processing the magnitude, majick and timeliness of this opportunity. I’m stepping into so many new phases of my life journey as a creative being, plus the panel happens on the eve of my bearthday 😜 LFG!

Any Warriors, Howlers or Fools in DC!? 🙋🏾‍♀️ Come tf out! Details below 👇🏾

#repost • @moorlandhu ✨Panel Spotlight: “Rock & Roll Lyrics & Black Liberation”✨

Join us at the 2024 Black Writers Festival for a liberating conversation about Rock & Roll.

The early foundations of Rock & Roll were laid by African American musical traditions like blues, gospel, and rhythm and blues. Rock & Roll isn’t just music. It is a powerful medium for expressing the desires for freedom and equality, and it is a platform to voice the ongoing struggles for Black liberation.

📅 Date: Wednesday, September 25th
⏰ Time: 5:00 PM
📍 Location: Blackburn Digital Auditorium

🖊️ Featuring Panelists:
✨ Maureen Mahon
✨ Fredara Hadley
✨ LaFrae Olivia Sci
✨ SATE

🎤 Moderated by: Tammy Brown

Going back to Detroit, where BLACK WOMEN ROCK.

Welcome Warriors, Howlers & Fools, if you’re new to my space. Now, if you’ve been here, then you know about Detroit, Black Women Rock and the spirit of the Queen, our Mother, that takes me back to Detroit, to celebrate, support and bask in the fire and brilliance of all of my badass sisters in Rock!

THE Queen and Mother, Betty Davis (slide two) singer/songwriter/producer/visionary/funk rock goddess and one of Miles Davis’— actually THE wife that changed his whole style, fashion and music.

We, the #DaughtersOfBetty come together to celebrate her paving the road, for the rebel in us, the no-fucks given in us, the visionary in us, the ahead of our time in us, the Black Women Rock in us.

This is a concert, a celebration, a carrying on of a legacy, a planting of our flag declaring our existence and perseverance.

Trust me when I say you don’t want to miss this.

Drop a ❤️‍🔥 for the love of Betty Davis and the #DaughtersOfBetty — and when you’re done that…head up to the LINK IN BIO for tickets.

Wellll shiiit, I almost missed celebrating EIGHT 🎱♾️ years of my baby, #RedBlackBlue existing, touring me worldwide, landing its cute, fierce ass in tv & film!!! Massive thanks to everyone who helped make the album happen from my partner in life/manager to my viking producer, recording/mix and master engineers extraordinaire, to all of the incredibly talented co-writers, to the musicians that heart fully blazed, to the singers that destroyed every mf vocal, to the visual creative team, and finally, to every being who has listened, loved, become a Warrior and has fucked with me since.

Please join me in celebration by playing your favourite track on RedBlack&Blue and letting me know in the comments which song is your fave?

oh and, Thank you from the tip of my sweaty clit 😜 #iykyk

p.s. I’m working on some exciting things, that I’m looking forward to sharing with you in the very very very near future #newadventuresahead #sooncome

#longpostalert⚠️ lately, you’re not getting

#longpostalert⚠️ lately, you’re not getting a lot of music or content from me. i’m working on getting out of my own way for me to share more. seems i’m always working on that. so i stay a wip [work-in-progress] — not a bad thing. what you are getting from me, is me & my mf kettlebells. you’re either sick of them, don’t get them, don’t care or you’re fascinated/terrified by them — i’m in the latter hah.

i’m encouraging myself to celebrate my wins, which motivates me to push a little harder, but i also set myself up/intimidate my own self. anytime i’m focusing my practice in physical/bodywork, i learn so much about the stories i’ve told or keep telling myself. my habits lay themselves at my feet, rather, glare at me in the mirror. ugh. reckoning with thy self-esteem is one helluva lesson in being human.

whew. and this is the process i’m experiencing every time i pick up a kettlebell, i’m met with the good, bad, ugly & beautiful of life. sometimes i show up ready to go, other times, kicking & screaming ready to get the fuck out.

yesterday’s session kicked my ass. i was struggling to be there, playing failure in my mind despite visualizing my success. i reeeeeally wanted to push that 24kg up for one rep, but today was not the day. not ready? i guess not. frustrated & hard on myself? fuck yes. i actually shed tears, nearly threw myself into a dramatic tantrum and a spiral down to mean girl bullying myself that i wasn’t strong (higher self: i am), that i wasn’t progressing (higher self: i am). working out is emotional for me, always has been. it unlocks some tenderness, compassion, grace in me. the hard & soft warrior.

so, when i finally got out of my way, my wins were: for the first time, i did the press ladder 1-2-3-4-5 twice, with 20kg!!

so i’m celebrating:
showing up
consistency/perseverance
shooting my shot
facing challenges
shifting my own narrative
proving to my visionary girl right + my mean girl wrong
staying focused/eyes on the goal

this spills into how i show up in the world as human and artist.

lesson: failure is actually an option, it’s quitting that isn’t.

i am (perpetually) a work in progress. 🖤💣🤲🏾

Warriors, Howlers & Fools, if you have never experienced the majick of rock Goddess Kimberley Nichole, you need to run and find out.

and last thing, I wrote this song as a mantra, a reminder to live your mf purpose. Shine your light. Do what only YOU can — the thing that lights you up? do THAT…it’s infectious to spread our joy.

We are so thrilled to share that A Mother Apart will have its WORLD PREMIERE @hotdocs_ 2024!!

Poet, lesbian, warrior, mother…daughter, Staceyann Chin reimagines the essential art of mothering in A Mother Apart, a feature documentary by @laurie.townshend

Co-production of @oyamediagroup & @ONF_NFB

* * * *
“𝐌𝐲 𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫’𝐬 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝.”

Staceyann Chin embodies multiple complex identities—poet, activist, lesbian, Jamaican American, mother. But the most complicated of all is “daughter”…

Abandoned by her mother as a child, Staceyann has been seeking her out for decades, travelling the globe in a one-sided attempt to forge a meaningful bond with the woman who brought her into the world. And now, as the parent of nine-year-old Zuri, she wrestles with an all-consuming dilemma: how to mother a daughter when your own mother was missing in action.

“The truth is, we can only find meaning, from moment to moment.” — Moment to Moment (from DION: A Rock Opera)

Ah DION, how you changed me, fed me, shifted me, taught me, freed me, challenged me, opened me, loved me, held me, trusted me, and I’m so fucking grateful.

To all the folks that came thru, couldn’t come (but there in spirit) — folks I knew, didn’t know — appreciate you being present to witness.

Deeply grateful for this moment.

DION: A Rock Opera

By Ted Dykstra and Steven Mayoff
Directed by Peter Hinton-Davis
Musical Director: Bob Foster
Associate Director: Kiera Sangster

STARRING: Max Borowski, Saccha Dennis, Kaden Forsberg, Allan Louis, Allister MacDonald, Jacob MacInnis, SATE, Carly Street and Kelsey Verzotti.

“DION is a wild and provocative musical about the limits of reason and the potential for disorder and revenge that lies inside the cry for freedom,” adds Peter Hinton-Davis “This is a world that begs for the glamour and grist of rock and roll: the sense of divine power and human aspiration, crowds of followers and fans, groupies and grifters, prophets and politicians. I am reminded of how powerful the role music plays in moments of social upheaval, revolution and change. There are shades of THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW or PHANTOM OF THE PARADISE here, as much as THE BACCHAE or HAMLET. But rather than homage or nostalgia – it’s a new-born re-invention of the rock opera for today.”

😈 Unleash your inner hellion 😈 for a unique concert experience that will blow your mind, Sympathy for the Devil.

From the Baroque Period, to modern day Rock n’ Roll, virtuosos have long been enchanted by stories of vice, mischief and misbehaving for many a long long year. And in turn, Lucifer’s tempted singers into sinners with promises of eternal fame, fortune and symphonic successes in exchange for their souls.

Sympathy for the Devil is on stage for a limited time, and MUST CLOSE this Sunday November 26.
