For almost 10 years now, with hard work, dedication, vision, love and empathy, we created a special space, that is safe and nurturing for all. FRIEDA's mission is to (re)connect generations, bringing together people of all ages and from diverse social, cultural and ethnic backgrounds, around food, art and culture. FRIEDA (2014) and FRIEDA Community (501c3, 2021) continue to build a unique community space based on shared interests in art, culture and food, and values including mutual respect, open-mindedness, curiosity, and empathy. We have nurtured and enriched the lives of so many people, in good and challenging times. Yes, FRIEDA feeds people in many ways. Community is a beautiful cure against social isolation and loneliness. Art and culture are inspiring and uplifting and at times wonderful ways to start conversations about difficult topics.
It is with great humility that we share this spotlight with extraordinary entrepreneurs whose positive impact ranges from AI and gaming, to saving the lives of newborns.
It is with pride, that we share our story with you!

1moNice! Any redemptive entrepreneurs/ventures you can mention? I used to live in Indy and still have family in the area, so I’m curious about the RE ecosystem there. :)
