Appearances
The Curtis family, Papa C, Mama C, and their incredible children, Zahara, Now, Isis, Kiki, and Phoenix, are more than performers.
They are educators, they are bridge builders, they are healers.
Through their nonprofit, Passing the Torch, they have created powerful intergenerational spaces where seniors and young people come together through music, storytelling, and shared experience.
In a time when so many feel disconnected, they have chosen connection.
In a time of isolation, they have chosen community.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, when fear and uncertainty gripped our city, the Curtis family showed us what courage looks like.
They stepped forward, not just as artists, but as neighbors, delivering groceries, offering comfort, and lifting spirits with songs that reminded people they were not alone.
Their musical excellence has taken them to legendary stages like Yoshi's, Blue Note Jazz Club,
Fox Theater, Concord Pavilion, and The Bitter End.
They have shared the stage with musical icons like John Batiste and Layla Hathaway, yet they continue to pour that same level of passion and excellence right back into their own community.
Their commitment to access and education is equally profound.
As faculty and students at the San Francisco Community Music Center, they embody the belief that music belongs to everyone, regardless of age, background, or income.
And as they step into an exciting new chapter, developing a television sitcom that celebrates their love story with San Francisco, alongside acclaimed producers like Jamie Foxx and his creative partners, they continue to elevate not only their family's story, but the story of our city.
One of the things that caused me to have such high admiration for them is the fact that they not all only can just sing, but they all play instruments as well.
They also keep up with current affairs and I remember meeting with them and every last one of them had a serious question about how I was going to work to improve the district.
I am so proud they are from my community and residents of District 10.
Today, we honor the Curtis family, not just for their extraordinary musical gifts,
but for their unwavering commitment to justice, equity, community, and care.
They remind us that art is not separate from service.
It is one of the most powerful forms of it.
