If I were in Baghdad by the Bay next month, I would go to this very cool event:
Narika presents our fourth annual Midnight Masquerade, a benefit event supporting our domestic violence helpline for South Asian women. Enjoy a festive evening of dancing, enchantment and celebration. Featuring music by Dhamaal, dance party, silent auction, tarot card reading, henna designs, palm reading and cash bar (non alcoholic options available).
Here’s more on Narika:
Narika was founded in 1992 to address the problem of domestic violence in the South Asian community. Embracing the notion of women’s empowerment, Narika set out to address the unmet needs of abused South Asian women by providing advocacy, support, information, and referrals within a culturally sensitive model. We serve women who trace their origins to Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Nepal, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and diasporic communities such as Fiji and the Caribbean.
If, by some ridonkulous confluence of fortune and destiny I am in SF, catch me in the wee eye pee:
