D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser has issued a proclamation declaring September 1 as “The Ask Rayceen Show” Day, a day set aside to honor Rayceen Pendarvis, a longtime community advocate, LGBTQ activist, and emcee, and her eponymous monthly variety program The Ask Rayceen Show. Held on the first Wednesday of each month from March to November, The Ask Rayceen Show showcases the talents of local artists, musicians, rappers, poets, dancers, burlesque performers, actors, comedians, authors, and other creatives, especially those who are Black and/or LGBTQ, from across the District and the surrounding metropolitan area. “I know none of it would be possible without the support of the performers, panelists, DJs, guests, sponsors, vendors, venues, volunteers, and everyone with Team Rayceen Productions — especially Niqui, Jeff, Krylios, Monique, and Zar.”The Ask Rayceen Show will have three more editions, with the first premiering at 7 p.m. this evening virtually on the Team Rayceen YouTube channel. Team Rayceen will also be hosting an event on September 9, called “One Last Wobble,” a reference to the popular line dance with which the show ends. For more information on The Ask Rayceen Show, or to access monthly episodes, visit www.AskRayceen.com, via YouTube at www.youtube.com/teamrayceen, or follow the show on Twitter at @AskRayceen.
