Black Futures Community Fund, sits on the advisory board for the National Parks Arts Foundation and is a director & producer of video and storytelling projects.

That's a wrap. 🎉

Sunday's @vitalspacesnm fundraiser at the @santafeopera in partnership with @lensic360
brought our community together in the best way — and it took every single person in the room to make it happen.

⭐️To the volunteers who showed up and gave their time: thank you.

🎊To the staff who held it all together behind the scenes: thank you.

✨️To the artists and photographers who shared their work and their talent: thank you.

⚡️To our catering team for keeping everyone fed and cared for: thank you.

Huge thanks to @garryblackchildmusic and @michael_burt_music for setting the tone all evening, and to @raashan for bringing the vision that made this night unforgettable.

I'm grateful to have helped bring it all together — and even more grateful for what it means for @vitalspacesnm going forward.
