✨ 2025 Faves ✨

One of our most meaningful moments last year was partnering with for Mental Health Night on Broadway. This powerful conversation centered the realities of being Black artists and artists of color in the theatre industry, from navigating pressure and visibility to embracing rest as resistance and normalizing mental health conversations on and offstage.

We’re deeply grateful to the artists, advocates, and partners who made this night possible and reminded us why this work matters.

Thank you ,
