Get More Info on YBG Choreofest In Memorium Shakiri   Flyaway notes with tremendous sorrow the passing of Shakiri. She was one of the most inspiring artists in the Bay Area. She led with joy, invention, charisma and a sharp political mind. She taught with Jo for over 30 years at ZACCHO’s youth program and is an ongoing inspiration for how we think about teaching dance to youth.
