“it don’t stop, it won’t stop”
this phrase among others, were the wise words our now departed, brother, comrade, genius, … Dallas Penn.
As our sister and Dallas Penn’s widow, Susan Penn, a.k.a. “Chocolate Snowflake”, so eloquently stated:
“Dallas has ascended to the music that was waiting for him. From September 1970 to April 2024, he always said, “it don’t stop, it won’t stop”, and he’s waiting for us all at the Funkadelic, Stevie Wonder, Sean Price Party in the sky. Rest my love and see you in our other lifetimes. Love you always, for all time.”
In honor of Dallas Penn’s legacy, The Bklyn Combine, in partnership Susan Penn, will provide a special scholarship for high school and college students focusing on storytelling, podcasting, creative writing, and restorative justice. Our brother was a steward of youth mentorship and all-around fairness and equality. This scholarship will help provide support to access the tools and resources necessary for success.
To help contribute to a young person getting access to the Dallas Penn Storytelling Fund.
