| ::Community is an
essential component to improving the quality of life::
One of the things I learned from VBB is that an organization
whose mission is to help people should do just that, because when
it does, as VBB has on countless occasions, the end result is potent.

Voices Breaking Boundaries (VBB) is a nonprofit arts organization
open to artists, individuals and organizations from a multitude
of perspectives, backgrounds and countries. From a humble start
five years ago as a grassroots literary collective organized
by five diverse women poets and writers hosting readings at a
local bookstore, VBB now produces more than 10 performance events
annually at local venues and curates regular exhibitions in its
shotgun house on the Project Row Houses (PRH)
campus; offers educational residencies and performances to local
youth and adults; and provides a support network for writers
to practice, publish, perform and receive recognition for their
work. |
