Hey, everyone!

Welcome to Inspire, a new TribLive initiative seeking to bring readers news that highlights the diverse communities and cultures that make up Western Pennsylvania.

I'm Shaylah Brown, TribLive's features reporter covering communities of color and arts & culture.

It’s officially Juneteenth week, and we’re only one day away from the national holiday that celebrates liberation, joy and resilience.

This week we’ll take a look at the festival that kicked off Juneteenth, details for upcoming events and some of the many opportunities to get a summer theater fix with a few must-see shows around the city.

Until next week, stay inspired.
