Portrait views with Christa Brown of the Free Soil Arts Collective. Christa met with me a the Merrimack Repertory Theatre in Lowell MA for some views at the theatre and around the city. An actor by trade Christa started the organization providing youth programs, theatrical productions and community projects that shed a light on the local experience of people of color in the Lowell area. Look for the article “Vital Voices” by writer Nejaray “Gigi” Torres in the May/June 2021 issue of Merrimack Valley Magazine.
