What makes you proud to be a part of the Soul of Southside Arts and Humanities Festival Planning Committee?

Being raised on the Northside, I was blinded by the perceptions of others.  It was not until I resided on the Southside that I realized that there are so many amazing and unique things about our Southside community.  I am proud to be a part of the team that can make our entire community recognise what I did.  This recognition is past due.  I am happy to give my skills and talents.
