For those wondering, folks must recertify each yr w/MDHA & when they do not their rent goes to market rate. The covid rent pause affected this mom’s situation. She was dealing w/postpartum, abuse and did not recertify. My friends know the 11 yr twins they are amazing thespians ❤️

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😥

So I’m getting ready for work and I overhear my local news station report that FUSUS passed BUT I watched the council meeting so I know what the actual vote was about last night. Seriously though Channel 5 please contract my girl @startleseasily.bsky.social because WTAH!

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!!

I was tickled by this sweet teen crew who agreed to wear their new @Chase beanies until it snows again.They volunteered at a community event yesterday & then I took them to the mall to get a Christmas present where we came upon the Chase holiday train station. Good times @Wendys

MDHA is a part of this too! That’s a whole other conversation! I’m just tired of my neighbors getting this way!

I’m PTFO for my neighbors! 70% of the community has no personal transportation. We are a food desert FOR real now w/ only gas station food options. Also workers laid off w/no notice and no severance. I’m boycotting DG! There are layers to this but this is not okay!

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 meant to tag @PREDSident :)

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)

mom with rent. “I made $30 the other day & gave my mom $10”, exclaimed 11y/o “J” and 9 y/o “D” stuck his chest out and smiled, “I pay my mom’s rent too”. I have mixed emotions ya’ll. I’m worried about their safety & more but times are hard & evictions are frequent in MDHA now 3/3

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/

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/

Ashley does so much advocacy for our city! Thanks for always being a listening and supportive beautiful soul! HBD!

End result: Pastelon, a classic Puerto Rican dish with sweet plantains and well seasoned ground beef made with sofrito and a little mozzarella on top.

I love photo memories that pop up! This pic from January looks like it can be in a mag. Thanks to @terryvofornash a group of my young neighbors know how to make snow cream and will think of our time at “Ms. Terry’s house” as they like to call her. #CommUNITY
