BIO Mama Duke (Kori Roy)
Mama Duke isn’t just an artist, she’s a force rewriting the rules of music and culture. A two-time Austin Hip-Hop Award winner, two-time Austin Music Award nominee, and Recording Academy member, she’s one of the most vital voices to emerge from Texas in a generation.

After earning Mel B’s Golden Buzzer on America’s Got Talent Season 20, she became the first female rapper ever to reach the show’s Top 10, proving that rap can be stadium-sized, vulnerable, and unstoppable all at once.

Her sound echoes across Austin, from ACL Fest to the Austin FC Amphitheater, from the Juiceland jingle she wrote to the anthem played before every Austin FC match.

Mama Duke stands as a mirror for countless communities, carrying stories that deserve the spotlight. She isn’t following a blueprint, she’s building a new one.

🌟✨ What if rest was all about doing what you love, with who you love, how you love to be?

This Labor Day, we remember that the holiday began as a movement for workers’ rights, a refusal to let endless labor define our worth. Rest is resistance. Rest is remembrance. Rest is rehearsal for the futures we dream together.

At REST Fest, we flip the script: art and activism meet not in exhaustion, but in joy. We practice futures where care is currency, play is policy, and creativity is a communal right.

💤 Give yourself permission this weekend for a mini-rest fest: paint, dance, nap, sing, breathe, gather. Let your rest be a protest, a prayer, a promise.

Because dreaming new worlds starts here, in how we choose to rest today.

Meet the hottest new project in Austin! 🔥

was where passion met rhythm in the heart of Austin, Texas! ❤️‍🔥

Inspired by the cultural history of Lambada, often called “The Forbidden Dance,” this festival was a celebration of breaking boundaries and embracing the freedom of self-expression through movement.

Lambada, known for its sensuality and dynamic energy, challenged societal norms when it emerged, earning its “forbidden” reputation. Over time, its influence gave rise to Brazilian Zouk, a dance that evolved from Lambada’s foundations and brought a new wave of fluidity, connection, and creativity to partner dancing. Together, Lambada and Zouk represented a lineage of passion, resistance, and artistic expression, which inspired the name Forbiddance Fest. 🌙✨

This festival was a tribute to these intertwined dance forms and the communities that continue to nurture them. Whether you were drawn to Lambada’s fiery rhythms or Zouk’s soulful flow, you found your place here. And the best part? Earlier socials! A healthy schedule where we had plenty of rest!

We celebrated non-stop with:

🎉 3 Days of Themes – Each day brought a unique vibe to dress up and dance the day & night away.

🎶 Zouk, Lambada + Integrative Workshops – Learn from world-class instructors

🌆 Austin Vibes – Embraced the city’s creative energy with live music, eclectic art, and a touch of Texan charm.
