Introducing BBNB!

Bent But Not Broken is a movement elevating Black vocal artists' musical contributions and accomplishments across time and genres. Now in its third year, BBNB offers full-length and abbreviated conferences with interest sessions, immersion choirs, panel discussions, honor choirs, and performances.

BBNB also hosts online events throughout the year aimed at developing an understanding of the interlocking concepts of self-workhomework, and hard work.
