What is it like to be Black in America today?
"I've lived in Philly for 17 years and it was great to explore a new part of the city, hear stories from a new perspective, and expand my world a bit further. It was easy to find Chrissy, she had a wealth of knowledge, complemented the tour with videos and images, and facilitated great conversation between the group members. I absolutely recommend the tour, especially to those who might not be aware of the parks and good things going on in North Philly." - Chrystina

Meet your guide
Chrissy, Hood Advocate + Storyteller
I am your socially awkward, mostly introverted Philly native who grew up "down Norf" when it wasn't cool to do so or "instagrammable". I live for thought-provoking conversations, building community and supporting Black humans to thrive, not just survive. In my free time, I enjoy the OG ratchet reality shows, thinking about sleeping, afrobeats, rnb and trap, accidently finding Black murals in Philly and beyond, listening to educational podcasts/vodcasts and growing as a human, mom, photographer and public speaker.
I look forward to chatting with you at an upcoming Black Be Beautiful Mural Tour!
