Hey Kansas City, You know, every time I think about what we're doing at Kansas City GIFT, I can't help but smile. And today, I've got a big reason to. Thanks to your unwavering support, @Vine Street Brewing Co. has just leveled up in a major way. Imagine this: our community, thriving, buzzing with the energy of success. That's the vision we're turning into reality, one grant at a time. But let's get real for a second. This moment? It's bigger than beer. It's about our hustle, resilience, and unbreakable Kansas City spirit. It's about taking the seeds of what if and nurturing them into the fruits of what is. With a new fermenter in their arsenal, Vine Street is pumping out orders and boosting their bottom line faster than ever. This isn't just a win; it's a transformation. Massive props to Vine Street Brewing Co. for brewing up excellence and crafting a legacy that'll inspire generations. And to my Kansas City GIFT family—this victory is as much yours as theirs. Your generosity is the backbone of dreams like this. It's the spark that lights up the future. But why stop here? Our mission—to close the racial wealth gap, to uplift and empower Black-owned businesses, to transform economically disadvantaged areas into beacons of opportunity—this mission is far from complete. It's about more than financial support; it's about building a movement. A movement where every success story, like Vine Street's, paves the way for countless more. This journey has so much more, and your role is vital. Your support, your belief, it's what makes all this possible. Ready to dive deeper? Visit us at www.kansascitygift.org and become a donor today. Here's to the wins we've shared, the stories we've told, and the countless glasses we've yet to raise. Because when we lift one another, we all rise. Let's keep brewing success, one dream, one grant, one community at a time. #KansasCityGIFT #vinestreetbrewing #BlackOwnedBusinesses #MissionDriven #TogetherWeRise #if15000peopledonated10amonth

Global Citizen | President of Marine Foundation USA | Representative at Future Trends Manifesto | Author of ‘Miss Jess VR Empathy and Inclusion Curriculum’ | Advocate for Self-Autonomy and Inclusive Education
In the heart of City of Northfield, MN, a small lemonade stand became a beacon of community and kindness. As the sun danced between the leaves, two young entrepreneurs set up their stand, their faces alight with the joy of summer. They had a simple offering: lemonade for a dollar an adult, free for children, and a sign that read, "Free if you don't have any money." The stand wasn't just a business; it was a lesson in empathy, a testament to the values instilled by a mother who believes in the power of understanding and generosity. The eldest daughter, with wisdom beyond her years, decided that no one should be left thirsty because they couldn't afford a drink. As neighbors and friends gathered, cheering on the young girls, the lemonade stand became more than a spot for refreshment—it became a place where community thrived. The laughter of children mingled with the chatter of adults, creating a symphony of togetherness. And now, as I share this photo of their lemonade stand, I'm reminded of the impact of small acts of kindness. It's a reminder that our children are watching, learning, and growing into the compassionate leaders of tomorrow. Let's cherish these moments and the lessons they teach us about the spirit of giving and the strength of our community. #NorthfieldMN #CommunitySpirit #LemonadeStand #KindnessMatters #InclusiveLearning #EmpathyInAction #FutureLeaders #Northfieldnews

✝️ Owner Realty ONE Group Gold Standard | Shine on Success Podcast Host | Champion for Agent Success | National Speakers Association Pittsburgh
Devie's story is one of true grit and glittering success, a narrative that stretches from her challenging beginnings in Pittsburgh to her current standing as a beacon of positivity in the real estate world. We sit with Devie to uncover the secrets behind her approachable nature and her knack for clinching deals that have earned her a top spot in such a competitive field. Her resilience and tenacity, honed by life's trials, are front and center as we navigate the strategies that have helped her turn adversity into triumph. In this heart-to-heart, we also shine a light on the transformative power of positivity and the profound impact of community involvement. I share slices of my own life, where personal passion seamlessly blends with my professional calling, and how this synergy makes every day an adventure rather than a grind. You'll hear tales of triumph over challenges, and how maintaining an upbeat outlook can turn even the most negative situations around. As we explore the far-reaching effects of kindness and philanthropy, get ready to be inspired by projects like Streethearts Haiti, which underscore her aspirations to extend her charitable reach globally. This talk with Devie isn't just a commemoration; it's a masterclass in the values and vigor that fuel not just a stellar real estate career, but a fulfilling life and a few laughs. https://lnkd.in/eUUTYbXH...

SATURDAY MORNING (NOVEMBER 2ND) at 8:30 AM our amazing Who I Am Foundation volunteers in #Phoenix will be cleaning up the community once again! In honor of Kenny "Fanatic" Hogan, for this Community Clean-Up (PHX) our volunteers will be meeting up in the parking lot of Rodriguez Boxing Club, located at 1350 W Roosevelt St Phoenix, AZ 85007 to clean up Roosevelt St. from 7th Ave to 19th Ave. NO OPEN-TOED SHOES Cleaning up loose trash is one of the best ways to pitch in for your community and the environment. Volunteering as a means to help conserve and protect the environment has a lot of upsides. Of course, the first is that you’ll be taking care of our planet, and it badly needs a little love given the myriad ways in which we’ve become adept at destroying it. But beyond that, volunteering for a cause you care about is a great way to meet like-minded people, make friends, and pull yourself out of the blues that sometimes accompany caring a lot about something important – especially if you feel alone in your endeavors. None of us like the sight of litter. Litter spoils the look of where we live but that’s not the only reason for picking up litter. There are a number of benefits from picking up litter that you may not have considered before. Volunteer-led projects such as these are one of the quickest, simplest, and least expensive ways to inspire more community spirit and civic action. A visually appealing community increases property values, attracts businesses, and improves the neighborhood's image. Beauty is one of the three most influential factors in community attachment, which means loyalty, to your particular town or city. Some research even shows that a nice-looking neighborhood promotes good behavior. Join us in keeping the community clean! For more information: https://lnkd.in/gZ-AVEuh #TeamWhoIAm_Phoenix
