Virtual Jazz, Eggs and Friends 100 Black Women • Columbus May 15, 2021

Welcome from Our President

The Jazz, Eggs and Friends Breakfast is our signature fundraising event held annually honoring musicians, Star students and outstanding community leaders. The purpose of this event is to raise funds for scholarships, Health and Wellness programs, mentoring and other community related activities. Through this event and collaborating with other organizations, we have raised thousands of dollars and have been able to provide hundreds of students with scholarships. It is our hope that by providing educational opportunities, we can erase the gender and pay inequality that exist for women particularly African American women. Consider a donation to help sponsor our program(s). With your help we can “Raise The Bar” in the amount of scholarships and programs we can offer to the youth of our community. Thank you in advance for your consideration. We look forward to being able to provide more scholarships and honors with your participation in the Jazz, Eggs and Friends “Let's Raise The Bar” for the Future Programs and Programming. Here is a copy of our link to find out more information about 100 Black Women Columbus www. 100blackwomencolumbus.org.

With that said, we are excited about our program today, we will be honoring the best of the best in Jazz Music and Gospel Music.

Connie Boykin Jazz and Cultural Advocate has a desire to expose the history and genius of jazz music. His advocacy has extended to creating documentaries of important people who have used jazz music as a cultural and creative vehicle. Through the process of interviewing, videoing and recording these individuals he has gained a great depth of understanding of how jazz music and music in particular is the heart and soul of inspiration to the many people who listen and appreciate jazz music and the heritage from which it comes.

Jazz musicians of late 1960s through the early 1980s represent to me the great confluence of jazz music, politics, and art. Being a publisher, researcher and writer also has exposed me to the extent and effect of this explosion of creativity in this period. His goal is to share this extraordinary music and experience with his audience and to reignite the memories of the jazz musicians of this great era.
