“I read Niobe Way’s book on “boy culture,” and I think how truly grateful we are to have found PBA. Boys, as much as girls, are inundated with toxic messaging. The antidote is exactly what PBA offers: a deep dive into the challenging and rewarding world of music and, in that environment, the delightful development of deep, abiding, healthy friendships. Our boys hang out together, never a cross word, accept each other for their essential selves, and it’s just a joy to see. I thank our lucky stars every day!”
