The Community College of Baltimore County's Multicultural Student Association experienced a magical "open mic" night and the credit goes to Izolda. Not only did Izolda entertain and educate the CCBC community with her lovely songs in different languages and holiday songs from around the world, she stepped in as the Master (Mistress) of Ceremony. Izolda welcomed, accompanied, encouraged, and praised the students as they read and recited their poems or sang their traditional holiday songs. Izolda had the audience laughing and crying at the lovely music that was played. The love of community was felt by all that attended. We hope to have her back again and again... thank you Izolda!
