609: Lessons On Running a True Community Space w/ Blew Kind of D'griot Cafe | Philadelphia, PA

More than just a 3rd space, some cafes are platforms for ideas, catalysts for change, and a space specifically organized and designed to grow and nurture their communities.

Led by people with deep convictions and a vivid vision for what can be, these spaces transform and help support the community beyond the coffee.

Today we get to catch up with someone who has spend decades pouring into her community and has learned a lot of very valuable lessons to help you do the same.

Inspired by her afro-indigenous lineage, Blew kind creates transformational experiences where folks can connect deeper within themselves and each other toward their highest self. She offers moments of pause, conversation, and discovery where we can experience daily magic, while being open to heal individually and collectively. Her play involves poetry, crafting, dance, listening to stories, and community space making.

Blew kind has developed multiple cultural community organizations in Philadelphia including Franny Lou's Porch cafe, Koku-Roko Learning Co-operative, d'griot café & gallery, and rad.Love; a non-profit fiscally sponsored by the Painted Bride Arts Center to support community programming.

Grateful to be involved in the good work, Blew also supports other black, brown, and community leaders on their journey through public speaking and coaching.

We discuss:

  • Journey from Franny Lou's Porch to D'griot
  • The Meaning of D'griot and Its Cultural Roots
  • Pandemic Impact and Business Growth
  • Overcoming Resistance and Building Resilience
  • Wealth, Value, and Community Support
  • Community Heart and Giving Back
  • Balancing Personal Fulfillment and Community Service
  • The Value of Humility and Collective Effort
  • Community Collaboration and Unexpected Opportunities
