Embracing the present/future with Ujima Presents & others...

BLAM!! Empress Imani (volume 1 contributor) captivates, blessing Bristol Old Vic with style, content and pure soul, embracing her "chance to shine - the love and respect was appreciated. Such experiences help performers grow significantly - spread our wings and hopefully fly," she reported, and did she fly - in no hurry to return Up-North, all round a superb, vibrant and relevant spoken work poet. Joel Douglas also appeared and never fails to deliver, even on off days he connects as his conviction cuts through. All acts and local celebs who appeared helped to create an intimate and ambient atmosphere. "The best night with multi-talented performers I've been to in a while, who I'd like to see again." Jayne Saul-Patterson - UWE. Humongous shout to UJIMA CIC for inviting our involvement, and for a smashing new concept for this generation. And thanks to Bristol Old Vic. If you missed it, look out for the Ujima Radio reload (TBA soon).
