​The City of Atlanta - Mayor’s Office of Cultural Affairs will bring its annual ELEVATE public art festival to Atlanta’s historic West End neighborhood from Sunday, October 4 to Saturday, October 10, 2020. This year’s festival events will be virtual. 

​• Musical performances by Kebbi Williams and The Wolf Pack, The Royal Krunk Jazz Orkestra, Gritz and Jelly Butter, Tony Hightower, and Julie Dexter. 
​• Mural installations honoring civil rights leader Reverend James Orange and Black women activists from the West End community. 
• An online and in person voter registration event at the West End MARTA station. 
• A conversation with New York Times best-selling authors Pearl Cleage and Tayari Jones, who frequently feature Atlanta’s West End community in their work.  
• The opening of Hammonds House Museum’s exhibition Elements of A Revolution. 
• A conversation between the executive directors of Atlanta Contemporary and Les Abattoirs/Toulouse to discuss challenges of promoting art during COVID-19, issues of gender equality and racism in their field. Since 1974 Atlanta and Toulouse have been Sister Cities. 
• A screening of the stirring new documentary, “John Lewis: Good Trouble,” an intimate account of the legendary U.S. Representative’s life, legacy, and more than 60 years of extraordinary activism. 
• An Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater performance of Lazarus created by acclaimed hip-hop choreographer Rennie Harris. The ballet connects the past and the present in a powerful work that addresses racial inequities America faced when Mr. Ailey founded his dance company in 1958 and still faces today.
• Renowned artist Carrie Mae Weems, in collaboration with SCAD, will launch RESIST COVID/TAKE 6, a public art initiative raising critical heath awareness about COVID-19 and the ways racial inequities have manifested in the pandemic. 

​We have known Shameia and her Grammy winning producer husband, Michael, for some years now....You may remember that Shameia has been featured on our What Do YOU Speak? segment.   

....You may remember when When We Speak TV made an appearance in her music video, Hold On To That Feeling

....or maybe her voice sounds familiar to you because she is the female voice on Ice Cube's song Streets Shed Tears.

​​Singer, Shameia Crawford, believes that you have to give yourself the best results.

​Shameia Crawford is featured on Ice Cube's new song, Streets Shed Tears.  She has released music of her own and has sang background for other great singers like Angie Stone, so now to be featured with Ice Cube is a great achievement.  

We are definitely holding on to this feeling!  We can not stop playing and dancing to Shameia Crawford's new video for her song "Hold On To That Feeling"!  Look closely and you will see some very familiar faces!!!! 

​Percussionist YemiConga shares with When We Speak TV, how he became the only musician in his family.
