This year Nashville will have its first free community Dia de Muertos celebration at the Nashville City Cemetery, which is the oldest continuously operated public cemetery in the city.
In recent weeks we’ve lost some talented musicians, and as a lover of ALL types of music I’d like to pay tribute to them here.
I started creating zines by invitation of Stagger Press and The Contributor.
In early June, we conducted conversations with Rosanne Haggerty, the CEO of Community Solutions, and Dr. Sam Tsemberis, the founder of the Housing First approach. You can read the interview with Haggerty on page 4 and the one with Tsemberis was printed in our last issue.The questions we asked were developed by several members of the Vendor Leadership Team. Shawn Lesley served as their representative and conducted the in-person interviews with assistance from Judy. After talking to both experts, we felt extremely energized. Since then several members of the Vendor Leadership Team asked us about our impressions, and we decided to share those with all our readers.
Rosanne Haggerty is the President and CEO of Community Solutions.
As I make my way across Nashville, I notice something that is somewhat troubling to me.
Globally recognized advocate for ending homelessness Dr. Sam Tsemberis, met with Contributor vendors and staff to chat about his experience in homelessness advocacy and leadership.
