Island Woman Rise: Ruby Ibarra, Klassy, Rocky Rivera, Faith Santilla & Kimmortal

Ruby Ibarra and a wide range of Filipina talent share a message of pride and self-love. 

The song Us by Filipina hip-hop artist Ruby Ibarra was called “a love letter to all Pinay women [that] encourages us to be proud of our diversity, honors our strength, and celebrates our ongoing legacy of organized resistance” by April Magazine. Inspired by Us, Island Woman Rise expands on that message and celebrates the strength and influence of women and gender-expansive people, especially within the Filipino community and communities of color. Taking place during Filipino History Month, the evening spans genres led by Ibarra as well as Echo Park’s own Pinay emcee Klassy, Bay Area emcee and journalist Rocky Rivera, Canadian multi-hyphenate artist Kimmortal, and Los Angeles poet Faith Santilla.

Preshow and intermission music will feature the DJ Collective: Ladies of Sound.

Time: 8 p.m., Oct 5

Cost: $26 to $36
