Gallery T.A.L.K. Vol. 2: Word is Bond

On Friday, April 11th, 2025, over 90 old souls from across the greater Boston area came together to dive deeper into the meaning of “Word is Bond” and explore how we as a community and as artists apply themes of Vulnerability, Authenticity, and the Power of Words. Featured performers and panelists Yelena “La Rosa”, Nate Nics, Ashanti Eva Davenport, and Paradoxic King shared their experiences and then shared their sweet voices with us on the Palette stage.

Catered apps and finger foods from the Palette Kitchen were there to keep us satisfied as we enjoyed the music, talked openly, and explored our community vendors, Your Wrld, Millennium Latino Project, HeartLyxs, and Magna Beauty.

A special thank you to SK Tha Gr8, Borii Shoots, and Peabody Access TV for their production, videography, and photography skills.

Mental Makeover: Polar Plunge

On Saturday, January 11th, 2025, despite the freezing temperatures and literal snowstorm, Team Old Soul Young World took the plunge for our third year in a row to support Mental Makeover at their Freezing for a Reason Polar Plunge.

The Polar Plunge is Mental Makeover’s annual event dedicated to raising awareness for mental health advocacy on the Northshore, a cause near and dear to our hearts. We couldn’t be more grateful to the 30 amazing supporters who helped OSYW raise $1,300 in donations.

OSYW is committed to advocating for vulnerable communication and breaking barriers for those facing mental or physical wellness challenges, and we can’t wait to see you all again next year!

Give Joy to the World: A Give Back Event

For the 2024 holiday season, Old Soul Young World teamed up with Centerboard's Lynn Family Resource Center, Chroma Boston Studios, Personality Hire, and Graff City to spread joy and make magic happen for local children in need. From November 18th to December 14th, we collected donations of toys and gift cards for local families in need.

On December 14th, 2024 members of the community from all across the Northshore got together to wrap presents that were distributed at the Lynn Family Resource Center’s annual Toys for Tots event. Special thanks to Nelson Hospitality for the cookies and refreshments.

Together, we have the power to uplift our community through love.
