 Rebbie Jackson - A Very Beautiful Mother, Wife, and Sister of the Jackson Family! "2011 PICK UP THE PHONE TOUR" Rebbie's 2011 Pick Up the Phone Tour kicks off in Washington, DC this weekend! I had the pleasure of meeting Rebbie Jackson and her husband of 40 years, Nathaniel Brown, yesterday evening at a meet & greet for her 40 city kick off tour to promote Pick Up the Phone, a suicide prevention non profit organization that provides certified phone counseling to those struggling with mental illnesses, specifically bi-polarism. Rebbie's 33 year old daughter Yashi is the reason for this 40 city tour and global outreach to support Pick Up the Phone. Yashi is a talented dance artist and poet who was diagnosed with bi-polarism 10 years ago. Rebbie will be headlining a special concert performance at the Duke Ellington Theatre this Friday, February 25, 2011, 730 pm, not only in support of Pick Up the Phone, but also in support of Dance Institute of Washington, one of my FAV places to study modern dance! Along with performing her famous 1984 hit, "Centipede", Rebbie will also perform other Jackson family favorites. She shared with me the song she looks forward to performing is Michael Jackson's "Fever"! Rebbie held back tears just mentioning this. Rebbie also shared with me she believes in the love of family and supporting family. Through Pick Up the Phone, she desires to support not only those struggling with mental illnesses like bi-polarism, also those who contemplate suicide; it is a devastating thought of those who suffer from mental illnesses including depression, schizophrenia, and bi-polarism. Rebbie and Nathaniel's daughter Yashi has published her book of 77 poems titled "Black Daisy in a White Limousine". Available at Amazon, the book sells for $9.99, available in Amazon Kindle and Adobe PDF format only! Come out and support Rebbie and Pick Up the Phone! Tickets are only $30, and I'm sure you'll hear the love in Rebbie's voice as she entertains to benefit others! Rebbie and Nathaniel have 3 children, Stacy, Yashi, and Austin. Nathaniel shared with me to expect great things from their family. Austin is a talented guitarist and performer who recently signed a deal with Interscope Records! |
