Dear African Dance & Drum Community,

It is with great sadness and heavy heart that I have to bear the news
that our friend, fellow dancer, amazing artist & blessed woman
Alexandria Ferdinand
passed away on Tuesday, December 19th
due to complications with an on-going heart condition.

This happened while she was doing what she did best:
teaching dance.

Her family is in need of our help!
They have set up the
Alexandria Ferdinand Memorial Fund
to help with the costs of the funeral. Any money given over those costs will
be donated to a charity
that her family feels Alex would have supported. If you want to dontate

The Wake is Friday, December 29th, 4pm-8pm

Both of these events are open to all in the miriad of communities
that Alex lived, worked and danced with who want to honor her.

Peace to all during the holidays, keep Alex and her family in your thoughts
& prayers.
