About Eman Rimawi
Eman Rimawi is a Black, Native American and Palestinian woman who lives in NYC. She began writing poetry and prose early in life. Her natural creativity steered her towards becoming a spoken-word artist, educator, and youth organizer for dozens of non-profit organizations in New York City including The Audre Lorde Project, Fury, Casa Atabex Ache, The Jed Foundation. She went on to teach creative writing workshops to youth in New York City giving them a tool to express themselves and share their struggle in a positive way. In 2014, due to issues with her health, she lost both her legs, but staying true to her passion for community connectedness and proven strength, she started AMPed Up – a Clothing line for and by amputees and is also training for the NYC Marathon this November. She’s been spreading the word about her journey through her Eman Rimawi facebook page to share the joys, pains and comedy of being an amputee.

About Amerigogo
Amerigogo’s brand of Disco Drag has been flooding the Brooklyn and NYC scene since 2012. The band flies its banner of “The Fabulous Party” as a symbol of its core foundations in their music. Jacob Mondry (synth/vocals) and Nathan Windsor’s (lead vocals/guitar) tunes are earworms that crawl inside your head, lay eggs and burst into a million infectious Disco sounds. “Making straights go gay since 2012”.
