Small Business Advocacy

Written By Gabrielle Davis

I made a promise to myself that I would always support my community. Understanding the story and path behind the business owner is crucial. These details highlight the resilience and courage each have taken to build their brand. Whether a small business, nonprofit, community organization, start up or local artist, part of my mission is first to understand their story so that I know how to connect them to their community. Creating multiple platforms for community engagement has been an essential component to the success I have personally witnessed with those I have been fortunate to work with along the way.

Why is taking a public space and transforming these beautiful urban landscapes temporarily into community focused events so particularly important to me? In part, bringing together the creative and service sector and our community is beneficial to encourage economic and community engagement through community event platforms, and because people need spaces to truly connect with one another. These community events transform public spaces, like parks, streets and vacant lots, to celebrate our cultural vitality and inspire these settings to become readily utilized by the public by encouraging both our civic and government organizations to activate these urban spaces into remarkable friendly places. Connecting our people to the places in our city through community events is a transformative process of urban landscape and mindset. This is the very reason place making in our community starts with a bit of exploration and community events are just one avenue to initiate this process.
