NCARB graciously invited me to write an article for Black History Month about BBE and our work. So I turned it into another opportunity to elevate some of our SAY IT LOUD Exhibitors and People's Choice Winners.

Each of our 12 exhibitions are represented by a featured diverse designer(s). We featured their headshot, project and one of their answers to the submission questions.

So incredibly proud to elevate them and to SAY IT LOUD once again! The article was featured in the upcoming NCARB newsletters, which was sent to over 100k licensure candidates and architects!
