BloomAgainBklyn Celebrates Three ‘Human Flowers’
When BloomAgainBklyn holds its “Spring Fling” gala event on May 18th, three women who represent “beautiful flowers of humanity” will be recognized for their contributions to Brooklyn and beyond. BloomAgainBklyn is a nonprofit organization committed to reducing social isolation and loneliness among vulnerable populations by creating conversations and connections through repurposed flowers.
BloomAgain will be honoring Martha Kamber, President and CEO of the YWCA Brooklyn, for her lifelong dedication and achievements as an advocate for women rights and social justice. Sally Bates Lawson, BloomAgain volunteer, will be recognized for her more than five decades of exemplary volunteerism on behalf of dozens of Brooklyn community organizations.
The event’s special guest performer will be Broadway actress and singer Rebecca Naomi Jones, Brooklyn resident and the first woman of color to play Laurey in Oklahoma! which premiered at St. Ann’s Warehouse in DUMBO in 2018.
