Boil her, mash her, stick her in a stew 🥔 Dark Side co-producer Jaeda is, for once, as nice as she seems, because she’ll be performing as the nicest guy in Middle Earth, Samwise Gamgee!
See @jaeda_yi at @frankybradleys on May 17!
Presale tickets are sold out, but we will have a limited number of tickets available at the door starting at 7 pm!

NEW ARTICLE DROP: "Ordinarie Heroes - A Unique Community"
READ:
LiveCarePhilly.Org/Ordinarie-Heroes/
Jaime and I got to check out @ordinarieheroes new space and holy cow are we excited!
This space is magic, a mix of activities and resources proliforting community. And it's all for youths. And its all under the leadership of youths empowered.
Ordinarie Heroes is finding ways to cross collaborate with other orgs like @blackgirlswithgreenthumbs with projects like The S.O.W. Hope Farm to share efforts, resources and audiences. This strategy is having manifold impact while also strengthening community culture and inspiring youths to follow imaginatively cooperative efforts.
The article doesn't do justice (much less this summary) to Ordinarie Heroe's remarkable model and approach to youth empowerment. We are so grateful Ron Toles founded this wonderful organization and hope you'll take some time to get to know them better.

When I went to community college 26 years ago, I made a dear friend. We were radio show DJ’s, house party goers, goodwill hunters and Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 players. I have a distinct memory of Zach throwing a “Melt Banana” cassette tape through my car window and saying, “listen to this”. He helped me understand that taking a day off to go to New York for spontaneous day trip with our other friends from College was the right thing to do, and had a strange way of kind of living on the edge and also being calmly grateful to God for the beauty of life. Zach has a lot of wisdom, discernment and insight.
I am so happy he and Jaime found each other and invited us to celebrate their union. And honored to have been asked to stand witness and supporter at their wedding. The bond betwen them is harmonious, balanced and beautiful.
@jaeda_yi - you are grounded, caring, loving and dedicated to your community. You and Zach share a love of the little things, with a vision for the bigger picture. You are partners that support one others individual creative pursuits, making the other stronger and better. I could not be happier for both of you.
I had such a blast at your wedding! I hope you pull the Photo Booth scrapbook out once a year on your anniversary to remember how much you are loved and supported by your orchestra of friends, family and community. Congratulations Zach and Jaime!
@tanukichef and @jaeda_yi
