SEATTLE ACED GROUP OF ARTIST/ACTIVIST MAKE WAVES OUTSIDE OF VULCAN INC.

September 29, 2017 by NWFacts Leave a Comment

By: Terae Grant

The rapid displacement and disenfranchisement of people of color in Seattle, for years has and will continue to be a topic of conversation for those dedicated to preserving the history, past, present and future. During this time, many groups, albeit, funded by the city, have made efforts to engage with members of existing communities that are at the risk of extinction in Seattle. As these efforts continue to prove ineffective and hollow, members of these communities — artist, organizers, and people of color have created committees and groups of their own; no longer asking, but demanding that they can and will have a say and place in this city that’s ever-so changing.

Seattle’s Artist Coalition for Equitable Development (ACED) is composed of local artist, organizers, advocates and activist who are committed to combating gentrification in historical neighborhoods, and focusing on the most vulnerable communities who are facing displacement.

The ACED launched their first “Degentrify & Inspire” campaign. Taking their voices, mics, and talents — showcasing them on-stage in the middle of the Chinatown/ID train station, particularly, outside the offices of Paul Allen and Vulcan Inc.

Along with cultural preservation, ACED also presented five commitments served as a call to action for Paul Allen and Vulcan — including available commercial space and funding for community groups, and affordable housing for artist who make under the average income.  Before the performances began, an open letter was read out loud to Paul Allen and Vulcan that expressed ACED’s vision, which, according to their press release, will “not only mitigate the detrimental impact that economic displacement has already had on this heavily  gentrified community, but one that will also honor and uplift the living legacy of the historic arts and cultural district.” Lead by its youth, the event consisted of a pop-up news conference and showcase of talent for artist who have directly faced being displaced.   It was there that the voiceless, for once, had ample time and opportunity to voice their opinions, experiences, memories of “old Seattle,” and frustrations. Through their words, and sounds, the rain and constant traffic could not contain their message. Performances included locals artists such as Dadabassed, Jerrel Davis, Fantasy A, Sharmaine Tillmon and much more.

The next “Degentrify and Inspire” event is today, September 27, 7pm-12am at the Vermillion and October 5th 6-9PM at Central District Ice Cream.  For more information on Seattle ACED, follow their page on Facebook Seattle ACED, Twitter and Instagram @SeattleACED.

A Man On A Mission to Help Fight Breast Cancer 

September 29, 2017 by NWFacts Leave a Comment

A Man On A Mission to Help Fight Breast Cancer 

Cliff Satterwhite

Cliff Satterwhite was the 9th of 11 children born to Owen and Lillian Satterwhite.  My father was a career military man with service experience on the ground during the Korean War, and as a Drill Sergeant training troops at FT Lewis during the Vietnam conflict.  My Mother was the consummate stay at home housewife who somehow found a way to work part-time at a variety of jobs.  She was an exceptional seamstress and an amazing cook and baker.  After my father retired from the military he fulfilled his lifelong dream to own a restaurant along with my oldest brother, brother in law, and sister.  It was a family run restaurant with my mother making pies, cakes, salads, and other sides, and my brothers, sisters and I prepping food, providing customer service and running the register.  Both my parents taught me, through their actions, not only hard work, dedication, and respect but love and compassion for those less fortunate.

Their lessons guided me through my early life growing up on Ft Lewis, helped me bond friendships on the playground at Tacoma’s Grant Elementary, showed me that hard work sets the foundation for success during my years at Jason Lee Jr High and at Stadium High School.  As an adult those lessons have echoed to me through every major decision in my life.  For that I am forever grateful.  Those lessons stay with me today, I’ve taught them to my children and strive to live by them daily. Cancer has had a major concerning effect on my life, most directly with the death of my Father to Lung Cancer.  My sister is currently battling Breast and Thyroid Cancer.  One of my mentors in the business is a two-time survivor, yet suffers from the effect of chemotherapy.  My wife’s sister is a Breast Cancer survivor.  We both have family members and friends who we have lost to Breast Cancer. Cliff is the kind of guy who will do anything for his friends. Cliff set out to test the very limits of friendship and human endurance. “No sleep breaks,” Satterwhite said.

To raise money for the fight against breast cancer, the longtime karaoke host chose to sing the same Garth Brooks song, Friends in Low Places, continuously for 36 hours at Stars Bar and Grill in Federal Way. “I wouldn’t even call myself a singer,” Satterwhite said. “I like to sing.”

He gave it his best, in honor of his dear friend, Smitti, whose real name is Sondra Holliday.

Satterwhite explained, “She’s just a great inspiration to me.” A two-time cancer survivor, Smitti is a fighter left battered but never beaten. “It hasn’t stopped her,” Satterwhite said. Even the other singers here on karaoke night couldn’t put him off his pace. Cliff just slipped off to the back and kept on singing. “Gave me a makeshift cot in case there’s a failure to launch,” he laughed. “But I’m pretty sure I won’t have to use that cot.” The power of friendship and love carried Cliff right over the finish line. But he probably won’t be singing that song again anytime soon. The impact is deep and has moved me to action. The Real Men Campaign drew my interest because; 1).  It provides another way to raise money for research, services and outreach.    2).  It will raise awareness, and encourage both men and women to get tested.  Early diagnosis is the key to beating cancer.  3).  It will help dispel the myth some people have that men aren’t as susceptible to cancer and that men aren’t as involved in the fight against cancer.

September 29, 2017 by NWFacts Leave a Comment

The Seattle Seahawks announced today that Lourdes E. Alvarado-Ramos (Alfie), the director of Washington State Department of Veterans Affairs (WDVA), has been named the local recipient of the NFL Hispanic Heritage Leadership Award. This award recognizes the contributions of Hispanic leaders in each NFL market. This is the seventh year that the NFL and the Hispanic Heritage Foundation (HHF) have partnered with the Seahawks in celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month.  Each award recipient will select an organization of their choice that serves the local Hispanic community to receive a $2,000 donation.

In 2013, Lourdes E. Alvarado-Ramos was appointed by Governor Jay Inslee to serve as the director of Washington State Department of Veterans Affairs (WDVA), the first woman to hold the post.  The WDVA serves as an advocate for Washington State’s military veterans and their families.  The WDVA operates three Veterans Homes that provide long-term nursing care and offers a number of programs ranging from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Counseling to services for homeless veterans. As WDVA Director, Alvarado-Ramos is a member of Governor Inslee’s Executive Cabinet and serves as the Chair of the Governor’s Healthy and Safe Communities Council that is charged with fostering the health of Washingtonians from a healthy start to a safe and supported future.  She also serves as Co-Chair of the Washington State Military Transition Council.

A Puerto Rico native, Alvarado-Ramos served 22-years on active duty, retiring in August 1993 as Command Sergeant Major and Troop Command Sergeant Major of Madigan Army Medical Center in Fort Lewis, Washington.  During her military career, she was the recipient of numerous awards and decorations including the Legion of Merit, Order of Military Medical Merit, Expert Field Medical Badge and Meritorious Service Medals.

She is an alum of Harvard University John F. Kennedy School of Government Executive Program, the University of Washington Executive Management Program and holds a Master’s Degree in Health Care Administration. She is also a licensed Nursing Home Administrator.  She is the recipient of local, state and national awards including the Governor’s Distinguished Management Leadership Award, the Lifetime Achievement Award for women in the military from the Young Women’s Christian Association (YWCA) and the Veterans Affairs Secretary’s Leadership Award.
