October 7, 2018 women from various cultures joined together at The Barnes Foundation for PECO's free family fun, to celebrate the 5th anniversary of Drum Like A Lady founded by LaTreice V Branson. My grandchildren and i really enjoyed the family focused day centered around percussions and crafts. My grandson wanted to build and i wanted to expose him and my granddaughter to the drums played by women. We didn't make to any drum workshops because he was immersed with building his cardboard house, thanks to the assistants of Ms. Yani. 
Women from various cultures came together to celebrate and showcase their talents on various drums, dance and song. We had the pleasure of being part of each others world with #BatalaPhilly giving a great performance that opened the day of celebration. So much wonderful energy was felt through the women beating those drums. Batala Philly opened up their drum line and allowed the crowd to join in the recital. The interaction allowed us the crowd to share our energy with the drummers who #TurnedUp and with each other!! Great experience during a time when we women are finding ways to connect with and protect one another. #MusicIsAPowerfulExpressionThat Unites

ABOUT UNITE FOR HER:
When Unite for HER founder Sue Weldon was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2004, she began searching for information on therapies that would complement the medical treatments she was receiving. What she discovered was a lack of easily accessible resources on topics like nutrition, acupuncture, massage, yoga, counseling and other ways for breast cancer patients to enhance their wellness and care for their emotional, spiritual, and physical needs.
Since its establishment as a nonprofit organization in 2009, Unite for HER’s cornerstone has been to bridge that gap for breast cancer patients, focusing on wellness initiatives that will positively impact their health, as well as the health of all women and girls.
Drum Like a Lady is a community cooperative, led by LaTreice V Branson, whose mission is to provide a safe space for women of all ages, ethnic backgrounds, religious beliefs, and lifestyles to express their uniqueness through collective drumming, dance, music education, and health advocacy.
