I’m already building something and want to take it further
In January 2025, I started hosting a Coffee Club in my 18-unit apartment building to get to know my neighbors, and since then, we've built true community. We've hosted everything from Wine Down Wednesdays, Progressive Dinners, our street's first-ever Chili Cook-Off, and even recently a crawfish boil. What started a way for someone to hold a package for me has grown into real friendship. Now, I'm working on expanding Coffee Club outside of my apartment building and to the rest of my neighborhood, and even possibly other apartment buildings in Birmingham and elsewhere. I also started a TikTok account to document everything I've been doing with Coffee Club and what I'm learning, and I even had a TikTok video hit 200k views last week because of a story about how one of my neighbors texted me at 2AM (and not for that reason - but rather to take her to the hospital). We've built something truly special at my apartment building, and I'm very interested in expanding it to the rest of my community.
