Of the 30 funded projects, only 13 out of 30 were rated green across feasibility, sustainability, AND eligibility.💥The Diatribe was rated ✅GREEN✅across ALL THREE CATEGORIES, but we weren’t funded🤔Make it make sense🤔🗣Why spend $200,000 on a consultant, just to ignore what they say? 👀 It might not make sense to us, but it did to the Kent County Commission👀 If you want to help, you can email YOUR commissioner and tell them how The Diatribe has impacted your life❤️🔥 Find your Commissioner at the link in our bio⬅️

💥We’ve told y’all our ARPA story- NOW HERE ARE THE FACTS!🔥The Emory Arts and Culture Center was rated 🆙HIGHER🆙 than 93% of ALL proposed projects AND rated ☝️HIGHER☝️ than 70% of all FUNDED projects… ➡️But we didn’t receive that funding. Make it make sense🤔👀 If you’re confused, angry, or even disappointed, we’re in the same boat🖤 BUT We are NOT giving up! We’ve been speaking UP and OUT about this injustice, and we’re asking our community to rally around us and do the same💯🗣❤️🔥 💥Email your commissioner, let them know how we’ve impacted your life, why you feel The Emory Arts and Culture Center is impactful for our community, or ask them WHY they set out a WHOLE PROCESS just to ignore its outcome‼️💯 Find your commissioner at THE LINK IN OUR BIO💥💥💥

In the very poetic words of our Vibe Manager “SQUUUUUAAAAADDDDD!!!!!!” On Sunday we got (most of) our fam together at @lotusbrewcoffeedrybar . For some of us it was our first time meeting face-to-face, but that didn’t matter because by the end of the night it felt like a FAMILY REUNION. We had a spades game going, 💣BOMB💣 food from @patriaskitchengr and delicious mocktails and coffee being whipped up by the 🔥AMAZING MAX🔥. We are 💥THAT TEAM💥 We have the dopest collection of POETS, PHOTOGRAPHERS, ARTISTS, ORGANIZERS, DREAMERS and MOTIVATORS! Amazing to share some laughs, jokes, aspirations and (in the case of the spades game) even a few threats! 💯BIG BIG THINGS ON THE HORIZON 💯
