Back in August 2018, Janette Ayub of Girl Underground Music invited me to play a benefit show as Cusi Coyllur to help keep families together who were separated due to Trump’s zero tolerance policy. After I performed, scarypoolparty went on and I fell in love with his fast finger-picking, soothing voice, and his song “Out Loud.” So much so that the next day, I learned it on piano and played it over and over again, adding vocal harmonies to it too.
Our first “Self-Love Date Night” February 9, 2018 at Rec Center in Los Angeles was amazing!
Our February theme is self-love and body positivity, so we decided to write love letters to ourselves and hope you will too!
We just released “It’s not as simple as just leaving” domestic and sexual abuse awareness zine in collaboration with Cusi Coyllur!
For the month of October, The Strange is Beautiful (TSIB) and Cusi Coyllur presents domestic and sexual abuse awareness Instagram Live hangouts and releases!
