Building Businesses, Transforming Cities. We believe that entrepreneurship can change lives. When people have ownership in an area, they also have pride.

When neighborhoods are growing, a lot of planning goes into renovating historic buildings and creating magnificent green spaces that look awesome in the background of social media selfies – while little attention is paid to the existing residents of these now flourishing areas. In the same way that these locations have the potential to become booming communities, the neighborhood’s residents have

the potential to create booming enterprises – just footsteps from their homes. With Cincinnati’s Over-the-Rhine neighborhood rapidly transitioning into one of the most promising neighborhoods in America, MORTAR fulfills its purpose by building on this success by focusing on those who are often ignored. By targeting underserved communities, we’re offering these non-traditional entrepreneurs the opportunity to use their inherent talents to not just make a dollar, but to positively participate in the rise of Over-the-Rhine and surrounding areas. This pride then manifests itself in the way that the residents become involved in their neighborhoods, and the building of local economies.

Meet Audrey, the newest member of MORTAR’s Development Team. This summer, she’s reflecting on what it means to return to the neighborhood that shaped her and how resilience, hope, and community continue to guide us forward.⁠
⁠
“In many ways, that’s why MORTAR feels so timely. We create space for free thought, innovation, and possibility.”⁠
⁠
From childhood memories to the realities of adulthood, Audrey explores the tension between surviving and thriving and reminds us that hope itself can be an act of resilience.⁠
