Title A name given to the resource Carl Rizzi , Mame Dennis, and The Academy of Washington Collection 6 Alternative Title An alternative name for the resource. The distinction between titles and alternative titles is application-specific. Carl Rizzi Papers on the Academy of Washington : Digital Collection Description An account of the resource The year 1961 saw the creation of two of Washington's first organized LGBT groups, the Mattachine Society of Washington and the Oscars. The Academy Awards of Washington, an amalgam of Oscars members and Awards Club (1965) members, incorporated in 1973 in Washington, DC, provides secure venues, mentoring, and a structure for female impersonators in the area. It is one of the oldest and most enduring organizations in the nation to provide support for female impersonators. The Climate for Drag in the Sixties Until 'Liz Taylor' created the Oscars in the autumn of 1961, drag performers and those aspiring to 'do drag' had no organized structure, no venues, and very little safety. In the repressive atmosphere of the 1950s and 1960s, wearing drag was an invitation to scorn and physical danger. Wearing drag was illegal in most southern states, and Washington DC was indeed southern in those days, though drag was never illegal in the district. Still it invited arrest and persecution. Public social spaces didn't allow drag (an ostracism that existed until well into the 1970s). Those who wanted to wear drag did it in the privacy of their homes or at private after hour parties. Indeed, Liz Taylor's house parties at her Hollywood House on Monroe St. NW were legendary in their time. Many clubs would not allow patrons in drag to enter, and few hosted drag shows. The single exception was the Golden Key Club in North Beach, MD. For other clubs, drag and drag shows were an option only during Halloween Week, which Mame Dennis calls "the high holy days of drag". At Halloween, the Brown Derby, the Chicken Hut, Hide-a-way, Georgetown Grill, Johnnie's, and the Rendezvous organized drag contests. Creating a Safe Haven for Female Impersonators Along with the Mattachine Society of Washington, the Oscars and the Awards Club were the very first organized groups for gays in the Washington area. Recalling her vision for the Academies, Liz Taylor said "... I strived to mold an elite group of people whose social life would center around drag. By creating parties and activities I knew that I would always be surrounded by people wanting to attend them... I knew that some form of drag group was necessary. I had thought about it for a long time -- and suddenly I found the answer one evening on television -- the first time I saw an Awards show called the Oscars." The first parties were held in various homes in Washington DC, which took on special names such as Blair House, Butterfield 8, Camelot, Hollywood House, Mintwood Place, Port Valada, Sand Piper, Taylor Lounge, and others. In time, these house names became the names of 'drag houses', associations of female impersonators who participated in the social activities of the Academy Awards. The first board members of the Academy were Lix Taylor (President), Bob Clauze, Prince Karl, Frankie, and 'Lena Horne'. Organization of the Academy The Academy's Houses in 1976 The houses of the Academy over 30 years have included Beekman Place (led by 'Mame Dennis'), Butterfield 8 ('Liz Taylor's house), Maryland House (led by 'Patty Duke'), Henry Street (led by 'Fanny Brice'), Liberty House, Dragonwyck, Phoenix House (led by 'Jean Nate'), and Twelve Oaks (led by 'Mae Bush'). In 1965, Jerry Buskirk and 'Vivien Leigh' led the formation of a second group, the Awards Club of Washington. The Awards Club organized the International Emmy Awards. By 1968, many members of the first Academy were also members of the Awards Club. Bill Oates Jr. & Mame Dennis In May 1973 Bill Oates Jr. ("the Godfather") brokered an agreement creating the Academy Awards of Washington, led by 'Elizabeth Taylor', 'Mame Dennis', 'Patti Duke' and 'Fanny Brice'. Beekman Place and Henry Street Houses rejoined the Academy at this time. 'Mame Dennis' (of Beekman Place), chosen as president in 1973, continues to lead the group. Bill Oates, who became known as "The Godfather", helped put together the structure of the new group. The original houses of the Academy Awards of Washington were Beekman Place, Butterfield 8, Henry Street, and Maryland House. Liberty House (led by 'Edie Gorme') was added in 1974. In 1975, the Academy re-organized following a period of internal dispute. The new organization included the houses of Beekman Place, Dragonwyck (of Hagerstown, MD), Henry Street, Maryland House, Phoenix House, and Twelve Oaks (of Norfolk and Richmond). In the 1960s, most hotels and clubs would not host drag events. In its first years, the Academy held monthly contests at the short-lived Uptown Lounge in Cleveland Park. It was at the Uptown that 'Liz Taylor' first did her long remembered rendition of "Letter to Daddy". 'Fanny Brice's house, Henry Street, formed a drag performance show, Showstoppers, in 1971, which premiered at Georgetown's Trinity Theatre in September 1971. In May 1972, the Showstoppers group participated in DC's first Gay Pride celebration with a show at George Washington University's Marvin Center. Showstoppers appeared at the Marvin Center from 1973 to 1981. Showstoppers endured for many years as a very popular annual production in Washington DC's GLBT community. Until 1968 when the Washington Hilton hosted the Black Pearl Awards, most events were held at the Cairo Hotel, Casino Royale, Dodge House, and the Palm Ballroom. One of the first venues used by the Academy Awards after 1973 was the third floor area above the Hideaway and Louie's clubs at 9th and Pennsylvania NW. This third floor space became the Oscar's Eye Theatre and was used for most of the Academy and house functions. In the 1970s, Academy members became involved in the Waaay Off Broadway theatre at 55 L St. SE. Beekman place opened the theatre with its production of Cabaret. The Academy held events at the Rogue, after the latter's move to 5th and K Streets NW. In 1992, the former Waaay Off Broadway theatre became Club 55, and Academy events were invited to move there. It is still the home of many Academy functions. The Academy Awards holds events every Sunday from September through May at the Club 55, 55 L Street SE (formerly the location of the Waaay Off Broadway theatre). Protocols and Events From the beginning in 1961, the Academy has sponsored Oscars for Best Actress, Best Actor, Best Drag in a Series, President and First Lady, Mr and Miss Academy, Mr and Miss Showbusiness, Vice President and Vice Lady, New York Drama Critics Best Actor and Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor and Best Supporting Actress, and Mr and Miss Oscar. In addition to regularly scheduled drag balls, the Academy's top annual pageants are those for Miss Gaye Universe-DC and Miss Gaye America-DC. Monthly contests at Club 55 present Zodiac awards. Annual special awards, such as the 'Lanie Kazan', recognize outstanding contributions to the community. At pageants, the order of appearance of award winners is strictly controlled by the Protocol. For some titles, the winners make make an entrance on stage. Top awards, such as Miss Gaye America and Miss Gay Universe, are 'walking' awards entitling the winner to take a formal presentation walk on stage before the audience. 'Fanny Brice', speaking to Bruce Pennington in a 1975 interview for Friends Radio talks about her first drag experience. Brice was 'mother' of the Henry Street drag house and founder of the popular Showstoppers revue of the 1970s.

The distinction between titles and alternative titles is application-specific. Carl Rizzi Papers on the Academy of Washington : Digital Collection Description An account of the resource The year 1961 saw the creation of two of Washington's first organized LGBT groups, the Mattachine Society of Washington and the Oscars. The Academy Awards of Washington, an amalgam of Oscars members and Awards Club (1965) members, incorporated in 1973 in Washington, DC, provides secure venues, mentoring, and a structure for female impersonators in the area. It is one of the oldest and most enduring organizations in the nation to provide support for female impersonators. The Climate for Drag in the Sixties Until 'Liz Taylor' created the Oscars in the autumn of 1961, drag performers and those aspiring to 'do drag' had no organized structure, no venues, and very little safety. In the repressive atmosphere of the 1950s and 1960s, wearing drag was an invitation to scorn and physical danger. Wearing drag was illegal in most southern states, and Washington DC was indeed southern in those days, though drag was never illegal in the district. Still it invited arrest and persecution. Public social spaces didn't allow drag (an ostracism that existed until well into the 1970s). Those who wanted to wear drag did it in the privacy of their homes or at private after hour parties. Indeed, Liz Taylor's house parties at her Hollywood House on Monroe St. NW were legendary in their time. Many clubs would not allow patrons in drag to enter, and few hosted drag shows. The single exception was the Golden Key Club in North Beach, MD. For other clubs, drag and drag shows were an option only during Halloween Week, which Mame Dennis calls "the high holy days of drag". At Halloween, the Brown Derby, the Chicken Hut, Hide-a-way, Georgetown Grill, Johnnie's, and the Rendezvous organized drag contests. Creating a Safe Haven for Female Impersonators Along with the Mattachine Society of Washington, the Oscars and the Awards Club were the very first organized groups for gays in the Washington area. Recalling her vision for the Academies, Liz Taylor said "... I strived to mold an elite group of people whose social life would center around drag. By creating parties and activities I knew that I would always be surrounded by people wanting to attend them... I knew that some form of drag group was necessary. I had thought about it for a long time -- and suddenly I found the answer one evening on television -- the first time I saw an Awards show called the Oscars." The first parties were held in various homes in Washington DC, which took on special names such as Blair House, Butterfield 8, Camelot, Hollywood House, Mintwood Place, Port Valada, Sand Piper, Taylor Lounge, and others. In time, these house names became the names of 'drag houses', associations of female impersonators who participated in the social activities of the Academy Awards. The first board members of the Academy were Lix Taylor (President), Bob Clauze, Prince Karl, Frankie, and 'Lena Horne'. Organization of the Academy The Academy's Houses in 1976 The houses of the Academy over 30 years have included Beekman Place (led by 'Mame Dennis'), Butterfield 8 ('Liz Taylor's house), Maryland House (led by 'Patty Duke'), Henry Street (led by 'Fanny Brice'), Liberty House, Dragonwyck, Phoenix House (led by 'Jean Nate'), and Twelve Oaks (led by 'Mae Bush'). In 1965, Jerry Buskirk and 'Vivien Leigh' led the formation of a second group, the Awards Club of Washington. The Awards Club organized the International Emmy Awards. By 1968, many members of the first Academy were also members of the Awards Club. Bill Oates Jr. & Mame Dennis In May 1973 Bill Oates Jr. ("the Godfather") brokered an agreement creating the Academy Awards of Washington, led by 'Elizabeth Taylor', 'Mame Dennis', 'Patti Duke' and 'Fanny Brice'. Beekman Place and Henry Street Houses rejoined the Academy at this time. 'Mame Dennis' (of Beekman Place), chosen as president in 1973, continues to lead the group. Bill Oates, who became known as "The Godfather", helped put together the structure of the new group. The original houses of the Academy Awards of Washington were Beekman Place, Butterfield 8, Henry Street, and Maryland House. Liberty House (led by 'Edie Gorme') was added in 1974. In 1975, the Academy re-organized following a period of internal dispute. The new organization included the houses of Beekman Place, Dragonwyck (of Hagerstown, MD), Henry Street, Maryland House, Phoenix House, and Twelve Oaks (of Norfolk and Richmond). In the 1960s, most hotels and clubs would not host drag events. In its first years, the Academy held monthly contests at the short-lived Uptown Lounge in Cleveland Park. It was at the Uptown that 'Liz Taylor' first did her long remembered rendition of "Letter to Daddy". 'Fanny Brice's house, Henry Street, formed a drag performance show, Showstoppers, in 1971, which premiered at Georgetown's Trinity Theatre in September 1971. In May 1972, the Showstoppers group participated in DC's first Gay Pride celebration with a show at George Washington University's Marvin Center. Showstoppers appeared at the Marvin Center from 1973 to 1981. Showstoppers endured for many years as a very popular annual production in Washington DC's GLBT community. Until 1968 when the Washington Hilton hosted the Black Pearl Awards, most events were held at the Cairo Hotel, Casino Royale, Dodge House, and the Palm Ballroom. One of the first venues used by the Academy Awards after 1973 was the third floor area above the Hideaway and Louie's clubs at 9th and Pennsylvania NW. This third floor space became the Oscar's Eye Theatre and was used for most of the Academy and house functions. In the 1970s, Academy members became involved in the Waaay Off Broadway theatre at 55 L St. SE. Beekman place opened the theatre with its production of Cabaret. The Academy held events at the Rogue, after the latter's move to 5th and K Streets NW. In 1992, the former Waaay Off Broadway theatre became Club 55, and Academy events were invited to move there.

Description An account of the resource A two-day discussion of the artistic/intellectual currents of 1979 in the African-American LGBTQ community, bisexuality, and the creation of the National Coalition of Black Gays. Day One (25 May 2001). Panelists discussed the issues and events of 1979 for the African-American GLBT community, including carding issues, the Third World conference, the March on Washington and the creation of the DC Coalition and the National Coalition of Black Gays. Day Two (8 June 2001). Panelists discussed issues, organizations, and cultural developments for the Black gay and lesbian community. Dr Sheila Wise's film, "A Different Kind of Black Man" (2001) set the introspective tone for the evening, which was in many ways a continuation of the first session. Michelle Parkerson and ABilly S. Jones spoke of the issues in 1979 and their roles in the artistic and political events and of the meaning of the events then and now. In a deeply probing examination of past and present, Parkerson and Jones looked at 'namings', the emergence of Black gay and lesbian political participation and the founding of the DC Coalition and the National Coalition of Black Gays as vehicles for poltical expression. Jones recalled the April 1978 meeting at which 12 people from the region formed the Baltimore-DC Coalition of Black Gays. Parkerson and Jones both remarked on the positive feelings generated by the Third World Conference and the remarkable walk down Georgia Avenue on an October Sunday afternoon to join the 1979 March on Washington. Parkerson noted that "we saw our art as having political impact." Discussion of 1979 generated intense discussion between the panel and the audience on roles, 'naming', and future directions. As it had the night before during the Latino presentation, reviewing our history led to an examination of the present.

Cheryl: Introduce the panel and ask them to say when they came out. Then take the earliest first (probably Boden and Casse, followed by Patsy, Kim, and Bonnie). Ask them first to talk about what resources they were aware of and what links they had to the lesbian community before they came out. Let all of the panelists speak to this first. Then ask them to talk about the challenges/difficulties of coming out in their period and follow up with their own coming out story. Audience: Ask the audience how the five coming out stories relate to their own experience and invite them to ask the panelists questions (if they haven’t already done so).

Box 73176 Washington, DC 20056 �A NOTE ABOUT TONIGHT’S PROGRAM As we gather tonight, we come with the understanding that there might be dissonance related to a topic and panel such as this one. As we prepare to engage in conversation around LGBTQ+ people and the police, we acknowledge that this relationship has not always been a positive one - and to many, a relationship is still lacking. From the 2016 FBI hate crimes statistics, the Human Rights Campaign reported that thousands of law enforcement agencies across the country did not submit hate crimes data, and 88% simply indicated that no hate crimes had occurred in their city. Given our own lived experiences, we know this is not the case. Historically, police enforced anti-LGBTQ+ laws that banned “homosexual acts,” cops raided bars and gathering spaces for LGBTQ+ people, and LGBTQ+ people often resorted to policing themselves as a result of explicit dismissal from officers. While police forces, including the Metropolitan Police Department, have created units and divisions within their ranks, LGBTQ+ people have traditionally had little or no agency when it comes to laws impacting our communities, neighborhoods, and society at large. And despite these internal affinity groups, we know that many LGBTQ+ people still face significant discrimination as a result of police force(s) and policing. While we engage in tonight’s panel in the spirit of capturing where we have come from with regard to this topic, we do not engage in a way that minimizes or dismisses the real threat toward and against LGBTQ+ people that continues today. Thank you for being here tonight. We look forward to a thoughtful and important conversation ahead. �TONIGHT’S PROGRAM 6:30-8:30 pm Panel discussion of the history of the relationship between the LGBTQ+ community and the police Moderator Rayceen Pendarvis Panelists Earline Budd Dee Curry Mindy Daniels Craig Howell Brett Parson 8:30-9 pm Post-Panel Reception If you have questions for the panel, please submit your questions in writing on cards provided at the reception desk.

Earline works as a Non-Medical Case Manager at Helping Individual People Survive, (HIPS) in Washington DC, serving   transgender, lesbian, gay/bisexual and other individuals. She is one of the founding members and former Executive Director of Transgender Health Empowerment, Inc. founded in 1996. Earline is the Executive Director of Empowering the Transgender Community ETC, a new grassroots 501c(3) non-profit organization which will provide an array of services for Transgender people in the DC area. ETC’s mission is striving to serve, empower, support and save lives daily. For more than 20 years, Earline has been a consultant to local and national organizations concerned with cultural sensitivity in working with transgender people. Some of the trainings have been for the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMPSA), The Center for Substance Abuse Prevention (CSAP), the Pennsylvania Mid Atlantic Training Center, the DC Department of Health, DC Department of Corrections, DC Crime Victim Program, The Community Partnership for the Prevention of Homelessness, DC shelter providers, and many others. Earline has over 25 years of experience in working with these special populations and those struggling with substance abuse, mental health, homelessness and HIV/AIDS. Earline has two years of college and is eager to continue her education in social work. Earline is one of the District of Columbia's first transgender women to serve as a Commissioner in the Office of Human Rights. Earline also serves as a liaison to the DC Department of Corrections on transgender issues, and is a member of the Department of Corrections Transgender Advisory Committee. Earline was selected by the District of Columbia Recovery Advisory Council (DCRAC) as their first recipient for the Purple Wave Community Service Award on September 24, 2016. Earline describes her everyday hobby as wanting to just "Help Some Body." �Dee Curry Dee Curry is a long time community member and volunteer. She is a native Washingtonian and has lived in DC for 95% of her life. She is a staunch advocate and civil rights activist. She believes that ALL LIVES MATTER. She was recently sworn in as a member of the Street Harassment Board under the current DC mayor. She has been a member of the Ryan White Planning Council and she was one of the Transgender leaders responsible for founding Transgenders Against Discrimination and Defamation (TADD). She is currently organizing and promoting a wellness initiative for Washington, DC called Solutions2Wellness/And Still I Rise. This initiative culminates in an annual wellness conference in November. She is currently a member of the Anti-Violence Project. The purpose of this project is to give victims of violence a platform that fosters recovery and healing. She has a long, storied and "complicated" history with the Metropolitan Police Department. Although that relationship has not always been the best, it is continuing to grow. They, and we, still have much work to do. Mindy Daniels Mindy is originally from New York and relocated to the DC area as a researcher with Time Life Books. She obtained her law degree from the George Washington University National Law Center and then turned her attention to LGBT issues, fighting for equal rights and protections under the law for her community. A member of the Gay and Lesbian Activists Alliance (GLAA), she served as an officer for several years and in 1991 became the second woman to lead GLAA. While President, Mindy was heavily engaged in the campaigns that created domestic partnership legislation and the long awaited reform of the District’s sodomy laws. At the same time, a surge in violent homophobic incidents in the city and issues of police policy, highlighted by a police raid on a gay club and a near riot during the 1992 High Heel Drag Race, created a need for dialogue and policy making with the Metropolitan Police Department. For several years, Mindy served as a liaison between the LGBT community and local prosecutors and law enforcement. To help protect the large numbers of men being arrested and convicted for indecent exposure or engaging in same-sex public displays of their attractions, Mindy �convinced prosecutors to extend the lesser penalty of diversion and community service to first-time offenders. She convinced judges to include sexual orientation in judicial surveys regarding bias in the court system. Mindy worked with Gays and Lesbians Opposing Violence (GLOV) to pressure police and prosecutors to stop their foot dragging in implementing the city’s BiasRelated Crimes Act of 1989. To bring greater attention to the issues involving violence against LGBT persons she initiated Walk Without Fear. On November 15th, 1991, Mindy rallied more than 600 people at Dupont Circle to remember local victims of bias-related crimes and create a public outcry for police and prosecutors to put teeth into the law by including the words “bias-related” in charging documents. Walk Without Fear became an annual event through the 1990s. Mindy herself was the victim of a bias-related crime. The tragic death of Tyra Hunter, a transgender woman who was denied treatment by the city’s EMS department in 1995, and the blatant discrimination within the Fire/EMS Department against diversity trainer Kenda Kirby based on Kirby’s sexual orientation and personal appearance, drew Mindy’s involvement. Kirby was hired in 2003 as part of a civil settlement in Hunter’s death but was harassed and blatantly discriminated against during her one-year tenure, prompting a five- yearlong lawsuit against the Department that was handled by Mindy and ultimately won. She has been the recipient of several community service awards, including Capital Pride Hero and was named a Pioneer by the Rainbow History Project in 2009. Craig Howell Craig Howell is a native Washingtonian who has lived virtually his entire life in the Metro DC area. He attended St. Anselm's Abbey High School in Northeast Washington and then graduated from Georgetown University in 1967 with a degree in economics. He was drafted into the Army in 1969 and spent most of his twoyear stint successfully preventing Viet Cong attacks in West Germany, for which service he was awarded the Army Commendation Medal. He worked for many years at the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, specializing in the economic interpretation of inflation data. In 1994, he accepted an offer for early retirement from the federal civil service, after helping to secure a new anti-discrimination policy from the Department of Labor that explicitly banned employment discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation. �Craig joined what was then known as the Gay Activists Alliance of Washington (now the Gay & Lesbian Activists Alliance or GLAA) in October 1973 and became GLAA's Vice President under President Cade Ware a few months later. He came out to one and all in September 1974 when he testified before the D.C. City Council denouncing homophobic policies and practices by the Metropolitan Police Department and was subsequently interviewed by several local television stations. That same year he helped to spearhead GLAA's Elections Project, as GLAA rated every candidate for Mayor and Council. The following year he and his GLAA colleagues successfully lobbied the newly-elected Council to abolish the MPD's homophobic Prostitution, Perversion & Obscenity (PPO) Squad and secured $50,000 city government funding for what was then called the Gay Men's VD Clinic. Craig appeared before the Council in July 1975 in support of legislation that would have recognized same-sex marriages in the District--which wound up as a rare legislative defeat. Craig served as GLAA President from October 1975 through September 1976. In 1977 and 1978, Craig was active in the efforts first to enact the Human Rights Act of 1977 and then to defend it against an aggressive drive to repeal it via the initiative process. Ultimately this led to the enactment of legislation in 1979 to prohibit initiative or referendum votes that would be inconsistent with our Human Rights Act. In 1978, Craig was personally asked by Mayor Barry to compile a roster of openly gay men and lesbians willing and able to serve on the District's various boards & commissions that Mayor Barry could appoint. Craig was involved with legislation establishing the Civilian Complaint Review Board (CCRB) in 1980. In the late 70s and early 80s, Craig concentrated much of his energy on the effort to persuade the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Council to recognize the Nazi persecution of homosexual men as an integral part of the Holocaust Memorial Museum, then in its initial planning stages. Craig led GLAA's efforts to secure bigger budgets to reduce the massive case backlog at what is now known as the Office of Human Rights. Ultimately, this led to the establishment of OHR as an independent agency in the 1990s and the taming of its chronic backlog. After the CCRB was prematurely abolished by the Council in the mid-90s, Craig and others in GLAA worked with other civil liberties groups to create a new agency with strengthened powers, the Office of Police Complaints. Craig also serves as President of the Chrysalis Arts & Culture Group of Washington and as Woods (i.e., Hiking) Coordinator for the Adventuring LGBTQ+ Outdoors Club. In 2007 the Rainbow History Project named him a Gay Pioneer. �Brett Parson Brett Parson has been serving the Metropolitan Police Department, in Washington D.C, (MPDC) for nearly 25 years and involved in Law Enforcement for over 30 years. He is currently assigned to the Executive Office of the Chief of Police, where he oversees the department's Special Liaison Branch. He returned to this position in December 2017, after a short detail to the Metropolitan Police Department's Academy. Until April 2016, he was assigned to MPDC's Patrol Services Bureau, in the city’s Sixth District, where he supervised the evening shift. Prior to returning to patrol in September of 2009, he was assigned to the Executive Office of the Chief of Police, where he commanded the department's Special Liaison Unit (SLU) and was an assistant to Chief Cathy Lanier. Under Parson's command were the department's four core liaison units (LGBT, Latino, Asian, and Deaf and Hard of Hearing). Even after leaving the Gay and Lesbian Liaison Unit (GLLU), he continued to speak publicly regarding GLBT issues, and trains law enforcement in ways to better serve the GLBTQ+ communities. Community members, law enforcement and the media have recognized him as a national leader in GLBTQ-Police relations. Brett is nationally and internationally recognized as a resource for investigations involving crimes by, and against the GLBTQ communities and he has spoken and taught in several other countries on the subject of providing diverse policing, hate/bias crime enforcement and investigations and intimate partner violence. In recognition of this unique work, the GLLU was named the winner of the 2006 Innovations in American Government Award, by Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government – Ashe Institute. Brett received his B.A. (Criminal Justice/Spanish) from the University of Maryland at College Park (Go Terps!). From 1991-1993 he pursued his M.A. at the same school, studying Criminal Justice and Counseling. He is a certified POST instructor in DC and Maryland. A native Washingtonian and current resident, Brett's parents still live in the area, allowing him to unwind with family and lifelong friends. �Rayceen Pendarvis Rayceen Pendarvis is an emcee, columnist, social media personality, community advocate, former Advisory Neighborhood Commissioner, and lifelong Washingtonian.
