Go on a live, guided tour of the historic Ashton building this month from wherever you are! Get a peek at the beautiful, finished spaces and see what else is in progress.

We’ll be announcing the first tour soon!

Our neighbors @reclaimedenterprises made this 4’

Our neighbors @reclaimedenterprises made this 4’x18’ community table out of Douglas fir joists from the Ashton building. Now in its proper spot in the Ashton’s first floor community space – aka The Dock – this big table will be a great spot to drink your @archetypecoffee, meet, work, study, or hang out with new and old friends in the neighborhood.

The rate of business ownership by Black women has

The rate of business ownership by Black women has been growing in the U.S. since 2002, and has been faster than any other group in the nation.* But this is in spite of barriers to financing, business knowledge, mentoring, supportive communities, and other resources – barriers created and perpetuated by our country’s history of racist, unjust, and inequitable systems and policies. Barriers that may not allow these businesses to reach their full potential.

This month we’re donating to a local organization that is breaking down these barriers and creating communities and opportunities for Black women entrepreneurs.

Founded in 2017 by Ashlei Spivey and Jay Warren-Teamer, I Be Black Girl creates space for Black identifying women, femmes, and girls to grow, connect, give, and take action. In March, @ibeblackgirl will hold its annual Pitch Competition showcasing local Black women and femme founders across three industry categories. Winners will receive funding and prizes as well as access to resources to support their businesses. Year-round, IBBG Business creates space for owners and founders to connect, and provides access to culturally relevant technical and capacity building support.

How can you support Black women entrepreneurs this month – and every month? Do business with them! IBBG hosts a member directory on its website of Black women owned businesses. Visit ibeblackgirl.com to learn more.

And later this year you’ll find lots of green space, too!
