A Springboard for the North Nashville Community
Meet one of our newest makers, longtime coffee retailer and founder of Kijiji Specialty Coffees, Edward C. Stevenson. Kijiji is a Black-owned business that has been headquartered in Nashville for more than 20 years. Kijiji Coffee House started in North Nashville and now it has grown to become the specialty coffee retailer you can find all over Nashville—from BNA to Batch. In this blog post, find out where the Black Wall Street of Nashville was, Kijiji's connection to the Titans, and how Edward connected with Batch.
Event What
Release a Butterfly, Remember a Loved One
Each year, Alive’s community comes together to remember loved ones with a butterfly release. Butterflies symbolize our lasting love and the spiritual renewal of a new season. For the health and safety of all, participants will release their butterflies at home this year. Alive is asking folks to share pictures and videos from their home release to be included in this year’s memorial video.
