Doc Powell, joined by Eric Lewis and Joseph Ngwa, drummed our hearts happy. They performed for the Zion Baptist Senior Center. One lady who had not stood up in ages got up on her feet to move to the beat! Music is a healer! #libraryteacher#music #fitness #dchistoryandculture #drumming #africandance #africanmusic #fun #librariansarecool #storytelling #writerscommunity #speechtip #publicspeakingtips #yoga #writingcommunity #publiclibraries https://www.instagram.com/p/CTpLF6lAm5K/?utm_medium=tumblr

Took a morning off to reboot a bit and did a DC History and Culture Meetup tour of State Department Diplomatic Reception Rooms. Largest collection of American fine and decorative arts (all donated or loaned) plus got to see the reception room where Kennedy Center honorees are feted (last pic). That room has a seamless, 7000 lb rug which was installed in 1985. @dchistoryandculture #dclife #mydccool https://www.instagram.com/p/BpkOJrgH0pe/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=fv0gl2p06ubh
