Jackson, Mississippi
“Being in this pivotal moment of having to redefine what makes a community, and what community means to us, we can reclaim our sense of what matters and reconnect to the things that bring us together, rather than the things that keep us isolated. “I see people saying, ‘It may just be my corner of […]
GB&T Bank, Greenwood, Mississippi
We knew the original vault was intact, but little did we know that the surrounding original glazed brick was also! It was hiding behind drywall waiting to be found like a treasure trove.

Face Masks
Our local nursing home needed masks and asked for people to make them at home. They even posted a tutorial on the kind of mask to make. A few of us dusted off our sewing machines to help. If you are interested in making masks for your family or your local healthcare workers, here is […]
Small Town. Big Hearts.
What started off as a small idea to show support for our local healthcare workers has grown into a big community effort in order to provide free meals as a “thank you” to those who are putting themselves on the line, our #HOMETOWNHEROES! This is the second week that free meals have been provided for […]
Candidacy Speeches
AIA recently released footage of the candidates speeches at AIA Grassroots earlier this year. See Belinda’s here. It seems ages ago that we were visiting, learning and socializing together in New Orleans. Unbelievable that it was only 7 weeks ago.
