💙We partnered with @BlueZonesProjectJacksonville for a Community First Wellness Day at our Northside Branch! We kicked off our Financial Well-Being MOAI to focus on improving financial health and overall wellness as a community. A MOAI is a group of people coming together to support each other in achieving common goals. We had delicious and nutritious snacks, the Wellness on Wheels bus, the coolest prizes, much and more. Thank you to everyone who attended our celebration today! 🤝We love supporting a healthier and happier community for all. Together, with Blues Zones Project Jacksonville, we hope to create a brighter future where wellness - both physical and financial - thrives. #BlueZones #Justbeyourself #MOAI #Healthyliving #financialwellness

We’re loving the new Riverside Avondale Preservation artistic crosswalks installed by Heartspace Art. These crosswalks will play a crucial role in increasing the visibility of pedestrians, making our roads safer for everyone. By using vibrant colors and creative designs, these crosswalks catch drivers’ attention, encouraging them to slow down and be more aware of pedestrians. This effective measure aligns with Vision Zero, a nationwide initiative that City of Jacksonville has adopted. Vision Zero aims to eliminate all traffic fatalities and severe injuries by implementing strategies that prioritize safety over speed. Artistic crosswalks are a key component in Jacksonville’s commitment to creating safer streets for all residents. This approach is also a part of tactical urbanism, where creative, low-cost interventions like street murals are used to enhance public spaces and foster a stronger sense of community. “The rainbow crosswalks serve as a powerful form of placemaking, transforming a neighborhood street into a symbol of inclusion and community pride. By spearheading this project, we are enhancing the visual landscape and sending a clear message of acceptance. I am proud to be a part of this initiative, which celebrates our commitment to creating welcoming spaces for all!” - Kandice Knecole Clark, RAP Creative Placemaker

This summer, I had the incredible opportunity to be part of the Leadership Jacksonville Next Generation Class of 2024. Alongside 40 other brilliant young professionals from the First Coast, we delved into Jacksonville's current landscape from exploring the vibrant arts and culture scene to engaging in local policy discussions with Mayor Deegan, and much more. As part of a special project, I had the chance to explore Jacksonville's parks and recreational areas, highlighting some of the city's most beautiful natural gems right in our own backyard. This experience not only deepened my appreciation for what makes Jacksonville an exceptional place to live, work, and play but also allowed me to connect with both current and future leaders who are dedicated to driving positive change in our community.
