Catherine T. Morris on Establishing BAMS Fest and The Road to Growing Boston's Creative Economy

Catherine T. Morris, the founder of BAMS (Boston Arts & Music Soul) Fest, joined us for one of the most thoughtful and insightful conversations we've had yet on the podcast! As advocates for the Boston music and arts scene, it was important for us to recognize and learn more about Catherine's contributions toward the scene. Her mission to build racial equity and economic empowerment to Black creatives and entrepreneurs is evident through her work the growing success of BAMS Fest, and her role as the Director of Arts & Creativity at The Boston Foundation.

During our conversation with Catherine, we learned more about her journey, including: her experiences with racism in the METCO program, her early work as an event coordinator during her college years, and her time spent in Philadelphia (which ultimately inspired her return to Boston and sparked the idea of BAMS Fest). Catherine also shared with us the criteria behind BAMS Fest's selection process for performers, advice she has for up-and-coming artists, and her overall views on the state of the creative economy in Boston. This conversation is a must-listen and one we're sure you're going to love and appreciate!
