We Are North Nashville

Led by artist, writer and community organizer M. Simone Boyd, with the support of Andrea Tudhope and Steve Haruch, this project will gather the stories of elders who have lived in North Nashville for 50, 60 and 70 years, but whose contributions to the community have not yet been documented in a cohesive way. The elders have lived through racialized terror, navigated the impact of innovation and have somehow managed to survive and cultivate joy.

Donations are accepted via Unmanageable, the 501(c)(3) partner for We Are North Nashville.
