My heart is so full today! Syatt, and Miles Heights Development Corporation Friends of Miles Hts. Village showed up, along with the community to welcome Slow Roll Cleveland to our neighborhood!

The meetup was at Kerruish Park where Syatt gave out snacks and Syatt Bikes stickers! As a team, we kicked off our community photo exhibit. You know, just a few photos that highlights decades of engagement at Kerruish park and in the neighborhood! The “Friends of Kerruish and Arthur Johnston Parks” group aka KAP “officially” launched!

We also soft launched the “Johnston Run Nature Corridor” . When you drive down Osborne/E. 143rd you are driving through the Mill Creek Watershed which eventually flows to the Cuyahoga River and then to Lake Erie! Why would we dumb trash, tires, appliances, dead dogs, etc…in what will become our DRINKING water????? Like why??? Anywho, more on that coming soon!

The Slow Roll made a stop at Arthur Johnston park and 300 plus riders were welcomed with open arms to learn about the Village and Mayor Arthur Johnston! Miles Heights Development Corp is a helluva team! Yes, we are fired up, but our fuel is pure love and passion for the work that we do!

Thanks to Slow Roll ride leaders Laura Hnat, Kevin, Ray and many others for keeping riders safe on our adventurous route 🙂

Nothing but love…

Now I don’t know about you all, but we have never gotten down in a National Park Service like we did at Anacostia National Park thanks to the Friends of Anacostia Park!!! They are not just “friends of the park” but FAMILY!!! We felt like we were at a family reunion….our cousin’s house for the summer. Placemaking at it’s absolute finest because the community creates the programming, hires the staff, and ensure that the vibe is welcoming for all. You all left us speechless and that is rare for Syatt to have no words. It was something that just had to be felt! We’ve got work to do at our local national park and we continue to be committed to ensuring that Cuyahoga Valley National Park is a park where everyone truly knows that they belong. Thanks for the red carpet, fam (Akiima)!

On our last post, we shared what it was like for our Syatt Civics cohort to step inside Congress to see how elected officials fight on behalf of our community …But here’s the lesson we wanted our girls to leave Washington, D.C. with:

Not all change starts in government.

Some of the most powerful work happens right in the neighborhoods.

We took the girls to Southeast D.C. to experience real community work in action. We had breakfast at the Marion Barry Ave Market and hung out with our friends from Dreaming Out Loud. This org created an amazing market where community members have access to healthy foods and urban farmers have a place to grow and flourish! We also headed to Sycamore & Oak to experience SOAK. This event blew our minds. From the party inside of the venue to the community folks gathered in chairs around the venue making a party of their own. Black folks, Black music, Black businesses and Black joy all under one roof! True community -centered programming.
Our girls met leaders who didn’t wait for someone else to solve problems. They rolled up their sleeves and built spaces where families gather, entrepreneurs thrive, and young people can see what’s possible. That’s civic engagement, too.

Stay tuned.

Syatt Civics- Why Voting Still Matters

Let’s be real, it is easy to become discouraged by today’s political climate and that is exactly why this experience mattered so much.

The girls in our civics cohort met with Congresswoman Shontel Brown’s office to better understand how our federal government works, how elected officials represent our communities, and why their vote is so important (even when politics feels frustrating or divided).

Democracy works best when people stay engaged…and youth are best engaged through immersive learning experiences.

Shout out to the amazing and talented staff in our Congresswoman’s office. Our visit kicked off the start of an amazing learning experience!

Meeting with elected officials was only part of the story. Next, our girls experienced what happens when everyday people organize, lead, and invest in their own neighborhoods. Stay tuned.

Most will see a trip to Washington, D.C. and think "Cool...a field trip."

At Syatt, we see leadership, let us explain...

Last week, eight young ladies from Cleveland traveled to D.C. for an ELEVATED field trip experience. They stepped into rooms where decisions are made, met leaders working to improve their communities, traveled back into history for inspiration and confirmation, and explored what civic engagement looks like beyond a textbook.

Our goal wasn't to just visit our Nation's Capital...it was to help these young ladies understand that they have a place in shaping its future.

This is what is all about. Stayed tuned for more trip reflections.

On another installment of “What is the Syatt Civics cohort up to? “ Thursday we attended the State of the Environment hosted by .

Thank you for recognizing that young people were in the room and making this event relevant to them. Our cohort had lots to say about the event! They are fired up! Stay tuned to see where we go next!
