On Friday, June 19th, 2020 we shared talents, experiences, thoughts, memories, and history which brings light to Black lives and the impact many have made on our world along side the struggle they still confront.

In response to the awakening state of our nation, we are establishing this annual event. The first was a beautiful marathon of talent and discussion, of community and individual spirit. A day of music, poetry, performance, discussion and community-building live-streamed and seen below.
