The Wake Up is a morning dance party event started in 2015 by Tanisha Christie & Natasha L. Johnson as a creative response to the death of Sandra Bland and the on-going police brutality in the black community. For the past year, the pop-up event has been held at C’mon Everybody as a dry event from 6:30a-10a for anyone who desires to ‘wake up’ the mind & body as a creative form of communal healing, protest and liberation. The event features an MC; DJ’s spinning the dope beats from Hip-Hop-R&B-Funk-Pop-Reggae-Soul; coffee, water and some light eats.

Proceeds from the event go to a Brooklyn-based not-for-profit organization.
