BNHA looks to always represent the diverse neighborhoods and cultures of Baltimore. With an eye to even better serving our partners I have decided to turn our Annual Meeting over to our heritage area partners and have you experience a thought provoking and powerful message on diversifying cultural institutions from author, Debby Irving. She is going to reveal how being "a good person" is not enough when it comes to removing bias from our lives and work.
Also, BNHA is excited this month to encourage all of you to enter our It's A SNAP! 2021 contest and to submit your entries for the Neighborhood Placemaking Grant. Both of these projects look to enhance the Baltimore story. Details can be found on both below.
Finally, last month I had the tremendous experience of presenting to the Ride to DC organization. Ride to DC is an organization that was founded to create an inclusive community for cyclists in NYC with a focus on bike accessibility for women and people of color. We shared with them the history of the heritage area and the key roles that women and people of color have played in shaping Baltimore's story. This group was energized and excited about the history and future of our City!
