I love this so much! I'm walking through the airport & what do I see? I love @bamsfest and I am so proud of the work @catherinetmorris and her team have done to "amplify and create opportunities for artists and creatives of color by supporting and building a healthy Black arts ecosystem and creative economy across Greater Boston and beyond." Although the Festival wont return until 2027 they are still doing big things & keeping the "momentum" going :-)
