🎭 This weekend, we supported Nothing Micro About Micronesia —a moving story about Micronesian youth navigating identity, migration, and family across the Pacific.

📚 In conjunction, we also hosted a workshop with students at Southern High School, a matinee for GW and Southern High students, and a storytelling workshop with kids at the FSM Consulate.

🧡 Events like this are possible because of years of community partnerships. But with the loss of over $750K in federal funding, we need your help to keep cultural programming alive.

✨ This is where your money goes, to support youth, storytelling, and connection through the arts.
