Arrivals: Stories of Becoming

In two moderated conversations, Executive and Artistic Director, Giselle Byrd, will be in conversation with community leaders Justice Williams aka Coach Justice and Teasha Purdy aka Teasha Boo as they tell us about their respective journeys to the present moment. The good, the bad, and all in between. And most importantly: how one still stands in their power at a time when the world wants them to fall down. Join us for an afternoon of fellowship and some surprise performances along the way!

Info: The Commonwealth Cohort’s inaugural Mutual Aid Pop-Up Market is a reflection of the power of community. Leaders across multiple sectors have come together to turn the lobby of the BCA Plaza Theatre into a mutual aid market, where folx can grab a bag and stock up on non-perishable food items, hygiene products, school supplies, and medical supplies.
