Meet the team that's making the Black Motherhood and Parenting Festival happen.
Our Story
In 2020, Blackboard Plays and Parent Artist Advocacy League (PAAL) partnered to uplift the experiences of Black Parenthood. The Black Motherhood and Parenting New Play Festival was established to tell stories of Black families, by Black parents and caregivers.
​
Dismantling systemic racism through art requires the creation of platforms and opportunities to tell stories that illuminate the reality, obstacles, pain, joy, celebration, humor, revelation, and even mundane aspects of the human experience lived by BIPOC individuals.
​
This new festival is our response to create storytelling representation through art.
