"I think about the interesting place that this is in terms of probably a hot development spot that hasn't taken off like others. There's a super block project that was supposed to be a few blocks to the south. This place is the Bromo Arts District and you have the Arena Players and Eubie Blake and parts of an underground neighborhood. For me, this black arts, black space, arts district hasn't been as preserved as the way it should be and I don't know how the legacy as a black arts space will be preserved in the future."

"There's a lot of stressors happening my in my life right now like college and financial aid. But in here right now, because we were published in the City Paper and being here at the opening ceremony of the Baltimore Beat makes it all worth it.

Besides our pieces in City Paper, we interviewed Chimamanda Adichie in the first issue of Baltimore Beat on page 26 and it's just really nice to be here with people who appreciate the community. And we're just two high school seniors who love to write and impact Baltimore."

"Don't pose us! Let me be candid, like this photo of me stoking the fire!

So we woke up this morning and we live in southwest Baltimore near Hollins Market and we loaded up the van and stopped by the store to get things for the festival and then we came out here. It's such a perfect Saturday and only in Baltimore can you come to a festival like this and see all of the people you meet and all old friends. It's so much easier to form community here than in other places."
