Mama JAH says “growing up in the 5280, I’ve endured a lot of changes and experienced many living situations. Whether moving yearly due to a non stable household, or experiencing homelessness while being in my teens, or witnessing gentrification take away black-owned businesses. It truly saddens me that most spaces here in the mile-high city for people of color are gone. Still, it most definitely fuels my flame to bring it back and make it more sustainable!!”
