🤎Stillness. Sisterhood. Space to breathe.

Thank you to everyone who showed up for Sat Down Somewhere at Nafasi on Centre and allowed themselves to slow down, reset, and be poured into. A special thank you to Dr. Tyi-Sanna Jones for hosting and creating such an intentional space for care and connection.

Through guided meditation, breathwork, affirmations, and gentle yoga, the room shifted from everyday stress to a space of care, presence, and restoration. From quiet reflection on the mat to shared laughter and community after, this was a reminder that rest is not a luxury, it is necessary.

Stay tuned for more upcoming events at Nafasi✨!

🍽️✨ The Hill District was full of energy, music, food, and community pride as A Taste of the Historic Hill brought local flair to NFL Draft Week on Centre and Wylie Avenue.

Throughout the multi-block celebration, residents and visitors came together to enjoy carnival rides, games, food trucks, local vendors, live music, community tables, and family-friendly fun. The event transformed the Hill’s main street corridor into a celebration of culture, creativity, and Black community life.

This weekend was a reminder that the Hill District is not just near the action, the Hill has its own action, history, and voice to share.

A special thank you to Renee Wilson for coordinating this celebration and helping create a space where community, culture, and local pride could shine during a historic weekend for Pittsburgh!
