Natalie Morrow has worked to boost the Twin Cities’ black community involvement in the arts since launching the annual Twin Cities Black Film Festival in 2002. This year, she went further, debuting the biannual Black Fashion Week MN. In 2019, Morrow plans to launch a Kickstarter campaign to purchase a building she can turn into a movie theater and fashion house, with the same mission to provide a platform for local creatives and encourage others in the community and beyond to take note. When she’s not forging a path for black artists, Morrow hosts events under her Morrow Group and is a finalist for an entertainment management gig for the NCAA Final Four in Minneapolis in 2019.
