I have so many videos and photos from my very first trip to the continent that I can’t wait to share. And as I was sorting through everything today, I realized there was one story I should have already posted

One of the greatest joys of the trip wasn’t just experiencing Nigeria for the first time myself. It was getting to witness someone I first met as an online student experience this amazing community in person.

Because of the incredible generosity of our donors, Dami & I were able to bring Victoire from Cameroon to join us at the International Improv & Playback Theater Festival in Nigeria.

Victoire attended workshops throughout the festival, performed in multiple shows (including the Freestyle Showcase, my personal favorite 😁) and built relationships with improvisers from across Africa and beyond.

The most exciting part is that the story doesn’t end there.

Victoire left the festival inspired to continue building an improv community in Cameroon and to bring what she learned home to her own theater community. That means your support didn’t just help one artist attend a festival; it helped invest in the future of improvisation, creativity, and artistic community across borders.

To everyone who donated, encouraged, and believed in this project: thank you. You helped create something that will continue to ripple outward long after this festival ended.

I’ll let Victoire tell the rest of the story in her own words. ❤️

Stay tuned for pictures, videos, & updates from this incredible partnership. 🇳🇬 ✊🏾

🖤❤️💚 Happy Juneteenth, family! ❤️💚🖤

Today we’re celebrating freedom, resilience, community, and Black creativity.

One of our favorite things this year has been seeing more Black improv groups popping up around the country - and the world. We’re building something bigger than any one team.

So let’s have a Black Improv Follow Party! 🎉

👇🏾 Tag a Black improv team, sketch team, or comedy troupe that deserves more love. (Including your own!)

Then…
🖤 Follow everyone in the comments.
🎟️ Check out their upcoming shows.
📣 Share their work.
🙌🏾 Invite a friend.

The best way to grow Black improv is to show up for each other.

We’ll kick things off by tagging some organizations we love, and we’d love your help discovering even more.

Here’s to building community, celebrating Black joy, and making sure our artists get the audiences they deserve - not just today, but all year long!

Happy Juneteenth! ✊🏾
