“Innovation Through Partnership: Pittsburgh Yards’ Journey of Community Impact”

Phil Wu, Brag Dream Team: “We are a leadership development program for young people using cycling as a metaphor. Some days you ride alone, some days with a team, sometimes you climb mountains, and sometimes you coast. The important thing is to keep pedaling and moving forward.”

Dr. Marsha Francis, STEAM Truck: “The first time we walked Pittsburgh Yards, I felt the community and energy. This space re-anchors our work, providing a landing space for kids and benefiting our staff.”

In celebration of National Black Business Month, we are thrilled to showcase the remarkable impact of our Pittsburgh Yards community. Created by the talented team at RE:IMAGINE, this video highlights the powerful collaborations and key partnerships that drive positive change in our neighborhoods.

This video features inspiring leaders from organizations such as The Brag Dream Team, STE(A)M Truck, The Five Strong Scholarship Foundation, The Come Up Project/Gangstas to Growers, and ADAMA ATL. It reveals how these visionary businesses transform lives and elevate communities in the NPU-V of Southwest Atlanta.

Join us as we celebrate these trailblazers and their commitment to building a stronger, more connected community. Watch, share, and be inspired by the incredible work at Pittsburgh Yards!
