Executive Director | Bomba Marilé
How are you involved in changing the landscape of Utah’s business community in regard to inclusivity?
Bomba Marilé is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization that strives to share Afro-Puerto Rican traditions of bomba music, dance and ancestral stories through educational and interactive events that foster healing, connectedness and community. Our values include learning and sharing, building community, and uplifting the voices of Black, brown and Indigenous individuals.
What do you most look forward to achieving?
I look forward to creating a space of healing through bomba music and dance where the community can come together to sing, dance and drum in a space where they feel welcome and understood. I hope our organization can help others understand the rich cultural diversity found in Puerto Rican bomba traditions and how those practices tell the stories of those who came before us and connect us to our roots and to each other.
