Richmond native Déja Bryson will appear at Yoshi’s in Oakland on Sept. 8at 7 p.m. at a benefit for the “Lend a Hand Foundation” and “Ladies in Red,” which work to empower and uplift youth and women in the community.

“I’ve been singing since I was four,” Bryson said. “The whole point of the show is to bring back the love of music.”

R&B and Soul mixed with a touch of Hip Hop can be heard in Bryson’s music but it is all inspired by love. Her love goes beyond relationships and friendships, but dive into being connected to self, art and community.

In an original ballad “Just a Woman”, she sings about women becoming extremely tough and the need for women to also bask in their feminine side.

“I get high from singing, and I’m very passionate about my art form,” Bryson added.

Along with her original works, she says she will also perform classics by Aretha Franklin, the Isley Brothers and others.

Keeping with a theme of love for the show, Richmond artist Dejuan Love will be the opening act. She says his soulful voice is remnant of the late and great Luther Vandross.

“There is no hype about the artists,” Bryson said. “The whole production is filled with people are passionate about the art and influencing love.”

He finished the night with an impressive 14 points, becoming one of the team’s top scorers for the game.

Tuesday night was anything but ordinary for fans in San Francisco as Seth Curry made his highly anticipated debut as a new member of the Golden State Warriors. Seth didn’t disappoint, delivering a performance that not only showcased his scoring ability but also demonstrated his added value to the team.

At 35, the 12-year NBA veteran on Monday signed a contract to play with the Warriors for the rest of the season.

One of the most memorable moments of the evening came before Seth even scored his first points. As he checked into the game, the Chase Center erupted into applause, with fans rising to their feet to give the newest Warrior a standing ovation.

The crowd’s reaction was a testament not only to Seth’s reputation as a sharpshooter but also to the excitement he brings to the Warriors. It was clear that fans quickly embraced Seth as one of their own, eager to see what he could bring to the team’s championship aspirations.

Warriors’ superstar Steph Curry – Seth’s brother – did not play due to an injury. One could only imagine what it would be like if the Curry brothers were on the court together. Magic in the making.

Seth’s debut proved to be a turning point for the Warriors. Not only did he contribute on the scoreboard, but he also brought a sense of confidence and composure to the floor.

While their loss last night, OKC 124 – GSW 112, Seth’s impact was a game-changer and there’s more yet to come. Beyond statistics, it was clear that Seth’s presence elevated the team’s performance, giving the Warriors a new force as they look to make a deep playoff run.
