Riders Against the Storm’s Jonathan “Chaka” Mahone founded the DAWA (Diversity Awareness & Wellness in Action) Fund with an intent to provide direct financial aid to what he refers to as BIPOC “community frontliners.” Since 2019, DAWA has distributed nearly $250,000 in funds and opened a no-cost production studio for creatives of color. Performers for the organization’s fourth birthday party include rapper J Soulja, R&B artists Moody Bank$ and Alesia Lani, and DJ Chorizo Funk. – Derek Udensi
