"I absolutely loved the Black Be Beautiful Mural Tour-- it was a really cool way to see parts of Philadelphia that I hadn't been exposed to before and learn more about the history and culture of the community. Chrissy is extremely knowledgable and draws on her own personal experiences to help us understand how and why the neighborhoods we've toured are changing so much. She beautifully showcases important art that makes these neighborhoods so special." - Mallika
