Broadway Advocacy Coalition to present inaugural Fellowship Hall festival
The event will celebrate and support Black femme identifiying artists and activists.

The Fellowship Hall festival will see nine fellows showcase their projects they've been developing throughout the pandemic, while championing up and coming Black femme identifying artists across the country.Â
