Our Executive Director and Deputy Director had a phenomenal time at this event. We are elated to see one of our long-time partners, Anacostia Business Improvement District, continuing to make strides in arts, culture, business, infrastructure, and more. This summer, one of our Oramenta Newsome Community Development Fellows will be hosted by the Anacostia BID and we're excited about how they will learn from and contribute to these initiatives!
🤝 Last week, we announced a strategic awareness partnership with the Anacostia Business Improvement District which will focus on increasing access for artists, development, education, and collaboration opportunities, and infrastructure beautification with art at its core within D.C.’s arts and culture center, Anacostia. We also hosted their Anacostia Arts and District Roundtable, a vibrant discussion with local arts and culture leaders to uplift the work being done in D.C. ⭐ In honor of this partnership and roundtable gathering to support the Art to Go-Go Arts & Culture District, we are excited to announce that DC Mayor Muriel Bowser has proclaimed May 14 as Arts & Economic Impact Day in Washington, DC! This special day is dedicated to cultivating the neighborhood of Anacostia as a vibrant and inclusive arts ecosystem that reflects the diversity and vibrancy of D.C., setting a leading example for communities worldwide. Thank-you to the Deputy Mayor for Planning and Economic Development, Nina Albert, roundtable participants including Ra Joy, Chief of Staff of the National Endowment for the Arts, Anita Cozart, Director of the DC Office of Planning, Ramon Jacobson, Executive Director of LISC DC, among many others, and the wonderful artists that joined us for this collaborative event to advance the arts in our nation’s capital! Americans for the Arts believes that through collaboration, advocating and supporting local arts and culture we can create stronger, safer communities, boost civic pride, and drive economic growth, while ensuring equitable access to the benefits of the arts for everyone—and there is much more to come!

In 2001 I was hired full-time by the incomparable Rynthia Rost. She saw potential in me and promised she’d helped get to where I said I wanted to go. She believed I’d do the work. She was a member of the executive team and I was lucky enough to work and learn alongside her. One of the things she did was help me refine my public speaking skills, which still pay dividends 23 years later. She told me at a conference that year, I’d speak on behalf of her and GEICO. I was like 😳! Nonetheless, I didn’t fuss. I went up on that stage and spoke before a crowd of hundreds if not more. I don’t really remember. And to think it all started with my father putting me up on the pulpit to recite bible verses and sing as a family over 40 years ago. Recently, WJLA-TV featured us and the amazing work of Anacostia Business Improvement District’s Art To-GoGo. We had the opportunity to share the Sapodilla's story and some fantastic bites with our guests. Thanks to Chef Shawn, the other chefs, the team and all of our amazing guests for a wonderful evening. We’re all so grateful for the leadership and community support from folks like Kristina Noell, Ashley Templeton, Ryan, Sybongile Cook, Timothy White and many others. Come check out the new free Anacostia shuttle service and all that this revival community has to offer, including Sapodilla's DC coming Summer 2024! 🙌🏾 #Sapodilla #Anacostia #Geico #publicspeaking #revival #community #ArtToGoGo #dmped #DC

Thanks to Calvary's amazing Anacostia business neighbors for all of your support over the last few days! Shout out to the Anacostia Business Improvement District led by Kristina Noell and the DC Mayor's Office Ward 8 team for being on-site with us just hours after the explosion and fire. #strongertogether #goodneighbors
Calvary Women's Services would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the amazing businesses in our community for supporting women at our Good Hope site and all of our neighbors following the explosion and fire on Marion Barry Ave yesterday. Capital One Café and Busboys and Poets Anacostia welcomed displaced community members with open arms and Kitchen Savages and DCity Smokehouse made sure everyone had a warm meal. To say we're grateful to be a part of this incredible community would be an understatement 💜 You can join the efforts to support women at Calvary during this crisis by donating to the Calvary Client Needs Fund!
