Back2Besa is back with a celebratory episode dedicated to Besa’s birthday. This week, we take a look back at some of Besa’s favorite stories from the past year, from Daddy Strollers Social Club to DEFY Wrestling in the Central District. We also take a trip across the bay to Vashon Island, made possible by King County Metro, for some tasty Southern food at Gravy.

Back2Besa is back with a week of good eats, grand openings, and immense creativity from both sides of Washington State. Artists from across the inland Northwest gathered in Spokane for Terrain’s 16th Annual Flagship Event, while Deaunte Damper set the vibes right at Inside’s recent open mic night uplifting underrepresented voices. In addition, Chef Trey Lamont kicked off his new series Food With Melanin at Fat’s Chicken and Waffles, putting the history and passion behind the kitchen on full display. 

Back2Besa is back with another week of highlighting incredible community gathering spaces up and down the greater Puget Sound region. The power of unity was on full display in the Langston Hughes Performing Arts Institute for Scope Screenings, to the Tukwila Community Center for the Free Community Play Day, all the way to the Central District for Walk The Block.
