At this year's Friend of the Children Award Dinner, our Promise Academy scholars performed "DREAMZ IN HARLEM," an original play written and directed by HCZ alumnus @JordanAaronHall . A Boston Conservatory at Berklee graduate and professional actor, Jordan is living out his dreams and inspiring our current scholars to do the same. We're so proud of all our scholars and alumni who continue to shine! 💛
