Welcome Erika Jacobsen White (Riki Rain) as a sponsor for this year’s House on the Waterfront Weekender.
Erika Jacobsen White, Esq. aka RikiRain is excited to be a sponsor of #HOTWMD. Erika is a civil rights, employment, and labor lawyer who also serves as Vice Chair of the Board for the First Shift Justice Project. Erika has fused her love of music with her political work since 1998 as a co-creator of Inspire Productions, which held multiple events at the Edge Nightclub to raise money for organizations like Metro Teen AIDS and City at Peace.
RikiRain continued her passion for bringing the community together with UNISON – a collective dedicated to building events that celebrate generosity and community, which has raised tens of thousands of dollars for organizations since its founding including the Ella Baker Center for Human Rights, the National Domestic Workers Alliance, the National Domestic Violence Hotline, and the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights. Since returning to the DMV, Erika spearheaded the Dance Like a Mother event for the last three years, to support First Shift Justice Project’s mission to help mothers and caregivers fight workplace discrimination and prevent job loss, has been featured by TMF1 Productions during Female DJ Herstory X, and has recently been working with the Foundation for Creative Cultural Expression on their new “Elevate” series of fundraisers for community beneficiaries.
As B-Girl Smalls said, “Dance, as a whole, is a political statement.”
