Advice for the DJs, producers and artists of our community: If you're going to preach about community, BE about community. Don't let your ego get the best of you or anyone's negativity stop you from doing what you love. You can, and you will! 

About the mix: This mix is dedicated to my older brother Joaquin on the anniversary of his passing <3 

With this mix idalia asks to please learn more about and consider donating to:
❁ House of Tulip is a nonprofit collective creating housing solutions for TGNC people in Louisiana (houseoftulip.org)
❁ NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, Inc & St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital: My older brother Joaquin's last day of sunshine before he passed was spent at the George Floyd protest in New Orleans on May 30, 2020. My brother believed in racial justice and was vocal about what he believed in. To honor him I have selected the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, Inc. which is America’s premier legal organization fighting for racial justice. My brother's last transaction in his bank account was a donation to St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital. Even before he passed, he was always thinking of others before himself. The mission of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is to advance cures, and means of prevention, for pediatric catastrophic diseases through research and treatment.
