Gullah Geechee Conversation – Jes Wana Testify

Moja is back again until October 5th, 2014 and there are a plethora of wonderful events dedicated to Art, Music, Theatre and Cultre in Celebration of African-American and Caribbean Arts. One of the premiere events we look forward to each year is the live theatre presentation from Elder Carlie Towne and her team of actors and actresses.  And sorry folks,  if you missed it this year, well,  you missed a Gullah Geechee Good Time!  On Thursday, Elder Carlie Towne, in association with Moja & The Gullah Geechee Angel Network presented “Gullah Geechee Conversation – Jes Wana Testify”.  This was a story of a woman named Truth who’s goal was to get her voice back. The setting was held in the Fruit of the Spirit Restaurant and with the love of family and friends, Truth was able to get her spirtual voice back.  Along with this dynamic story line, the audience was treated with a talented host of dancers, singers, and poets AND a special guest appearance from Queen Quet of the Gullah Geechee Nation.  Oh! and lets not forget about the okra and cornbread!

Elder Carlie town and her talented cast definitely blessed Charleston and the MOJA festival once again.  Can’t wait until next year! check out the pics below
