Dada Rafiki producer Annie Ruth and her team are working to bring you an exciting program of entertainment and inspiration for the entire family, while sharing empowering stories of inspirational women who positively impact our community.
Join internationally respected and award-winning artist/poet Annie Ruth as she hosts one of the most inspirational multicultural celebrations of music, dance, spoken word, and song in Cincinnati – Dada Rafiki, which means "sister-friend" in the Kiswahili language of Eastern Africa. Annie uses this engaging and interactive evening to honor women from all walks of life in the Tri-state area. This year's theme is Conversations – Celebrating the year of the woman!, which promotes a universal message of hope, health, and healing for Greater Cincinnati.
Experience a multi-sensory artistic expression of music, dance, song, and spoken word honoring the legacy and impact of women. Hosted by WLWT-TV5 news anchor Courtis Fuller, Dada Rafiki features performances by Annie Ruth, singer/songwriter Sistah LaLa, mother-and-son team Yah’El Abiyah Yisra’el and William Menefield, Cincinnati Opera artist Gabriella Sam, acclaimed multicultural dancer and choreographer Jeaunita Olowe, and a host of community performers.
