They came home so excited to show their musical progress. I love the work of their band teacher Mr. Treadway and the MAM band program! (The vid of the school performance from Dec)
I came to X fam last yr & hoping to get resources again. For those wondering J came home from AZ for a couple reasons, mainly his mom is STILL homeless. Who has connects to Metro Action? I have helped raise $5k but $8K remains. This sweet mom has been w/o a place for 20 mths😥
Still out here riding the bus from time to time…don’t mind my facial expression, I just left Cordell Hull, iykyk. Shout out to the legislatures who truly care!!
MDHA is a part of this too! That’s a whole other conversation! I’m just tired of my neighbors getting this way!
Bus selfie #75bus after a great Urbanism meeting with folks who deeply care about our city and then supporting small business Saturday in Edgehill. #nashvilleTings Find me on blue sky too (Nikkiv)
I wish I could take a group every month! They didn’t give up and learned new skills. My young neighbors had SO much fun yesterday @TheCragTN !If I had a bigger bus I could’ve taken 15 more who were at the library & wanted to go.TY to the MDHA comm. safety grant for covering cost.
I’m in tears! This sweet family loss their mom/wife 4 months ago :(. I know them well. So glad they got a visit from Roman and Nyquist & MNPD. @PredsNHL I will take them to the next game we have tix to! Also slightly jealous as I live two blocks away!! @PredsFoundation
Hoping my reach here will help this vision come true… Looking for an owner of an RV to welcome small groups of youth accompanied by a teacher to experience what it’s like to be on an RV for a few mins. We will read the book “Home Is…” Pls let me know if you know of anyone🙏🏾
I’m making the switch! Shout out to my friends @whittlz and @UrbanEastNash for the inspiration. 🌌 (only emoji I could find)
Road the #55 and #8 to go speak at the school board about if students affected by the new zoning will have transportation if they desire to stay at their current zone school. (based on what families have shared with me.) Also not me mimicking my @hownashmoves mailer pic 😂 1/
On the bus ride, two of my young neighbors hoped on. They greeted me and inquired about my car. I told them I take the bus at times. They shared they were off to work. One was holding a bucket & drum stick while the other shared they work at a hotel too & the $ helps their 2/
