Bao Bao

 

Last week I attended the Boa Boa Festival at Colorado College. It was an evening of African music, dance and storytelling. And color! (My pictures don't even begin to do justice to the beautiful greens and purples and yellows on that stage that evening.)

As they told us, the Boa Boa tree is known as the "umbrella of community," which to me, was what Packard Hall felt like with these amazing sounds and movements happening inside it. 

I'm so grateful to have CC nearby, a place where I can engage with and learn about cultures I know little about. Events like these remind me how much I love — and need — to travel.
