. Rest in Peace, Maiesha Rashad. When I first saw her at Bailey’s in Silver Spring I had no idea that was go-go. It was just funky and soulful a great party.

Saddened to hear about the passing of the ‘First lady of go-go’ Maiesha Rashad, a leading figure in DC’s go-go scene. I had the opportunity to get to know her while we both worked at NPR
