Mama we made it! The Alumni Spot was featured on Good Morning Washington ABC7 News last month and I had the pleasure of capturing the Behind The Scenes footage and getting a cool lil shoutout for my Photography and Marketing at The Alumni Spot. Also got some great shots of Yadi and Trae Backstage. The segment focused on Yaddiya’s continued community involvement and his venture into the Restaurant business, the amazing food Chef Chefe curates in the Alumni Spot, as well as how it all came about from Yaddiya’s Long Live Gogo Movement.

Last week was DC’s week dedicated to Go-Go Music the official music of the nations capital. Mayor Bowser’s initiative to keep Go-Go music alive and the Alumni had the pleasure of Hosting an All woman panel of the leading ladies of the Go-Go scene. Headed by @JustCuriousPoe of Wpgc 95.5, Sweet Thang of Backyard, Kacey of Black Alley, @MizzBlackwell, @QueenSongBirdKimise, as well fellow Morgan alum DJ Heat.

Finally made it to a Church on Sundays function! Ive known about these parties since the inception and never could muster up the energy to go out at night if it wasn’t a paid gig. Sunday it just so happened the Alumni Spot hosted “Church on Sundays” and let me tell you, I been missing out. Great Vibes, DJ rocking, and endless pics!

The Alumni is officially open for business; hosting private parties, and invite-only Happy Hours on Thursdays. Featuring some of your favorite local DJ talents as well as Gogo Bands whilst delivering some delicious renditions of local food favorites by personal chef, Chef Chefe!

Have you ever been to an invite-only Gogo?

I Really pulled up to Georgetown University with my work equipment and Curated a whole vibe. From printing the hoodies to taking the “yearbook” photos to being featured by the Washingtonian Magazine and Washington Informer Bridge Newspaper. We really had it up moe!

If you read my blog you know I recently was apart of LongLiveGogoDC’s Mumbo Connection Fashion Show at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. Not only did I walk in my first fashion show but had the opportunity to have my own scene to present my brand as well. It was a last minute opportunity I wasn’t gonna pass up.
