For a lot of us, community used to feel simple. Well at least for Lacey it looked like:
Summer days at the park.
Field games.
Music playing somewhere in the background.
Laughing with people you barely knew like you’d known them forever.
Lacy wanted to bring that feeling back.
What started as a space for fun, nostalgia, and natural connection turned into something bigger: a community where people could show up as themselves, meet new people without pressure, and feel part of something real again.
Because somewhere along the way, connection started feeling forced.
Too curated.
Too transactional.
DasCreativ reminds people it doesn’t have to be that way.
You can feel it in the energy.
In the games.
In the random conversations that turn into real friendships.
A family reunion vibe in the middle of LA.
But what makes this community special is the intention behind it.
Lacy and her team didn’t just build events.
They built a space where people can reconnect with joy, purpose, faith, and each other.
A place where nostalgia becomes community.
And community becomes belonging.
This is what happens when people create the kind of spaces they wish existed more often.

THE COMMUNITY ORGANIZERS — [VOL. 1]:
I had the pleasure of shooting @blessed_living_healthy_j , a mogul in her own right and leader of Black Living Single Community.
She loves bringing singles together to get outside, kick it, and enjoy their singleness while building real connections in the city.
In between shots, she shared some of the insight she’s gained building community and creating spaces where people can genuinely tap in with one another. She’s a boss, a leader, and officially kicks off the JoinLinks Organizer Series.
Join her community on @joinlinks to keep up with everything she’s building.
Big thanks to @parkandlexstudios for letting us take over their beautiful studio for the day!

Aisha decided to change that.
What started as a desire to create more representation for Black climbers in LA has grown into something much deeper: a space where people feel safe, supported, challenged, and seen.
Because community changes everything.
It changes whether someone feels comfortable walking through the door for the first time.
It changes whether people stay.
It changes whether someone believes they belong there at all.
And now?
What once started with just a handful of people has become a movement built around joy, wellness, and connection.
You can feel it in the energy of the room.
In the encouragement between climbs.
In the people pushing each other to become stronger — mentally, physically, emotionally.
But the most powerful part is this:
Aisha and this community aren’t just creating climbing events.
They’re creating access.
Representation.
Safe spaces for Black people to exist fully and joyfully outdoors.
This is what happens when someone builds the thing they wished already existed.
