Weaving, Waffles and Community: A Macrame Experience with Tatianna Monet
If you ever need a midweek reset – one that equally challenges and humbles you, then Tatianna Monet’s macrame class might be your next event to try out. By no measure am I a skilled seamstress or crocheter. But even with that in mind– I still decided to try something new. Monet’s class was hosted at Pink Rock Culture Co-op in downtown Syracuse. The room was filled with more than a dozen multigenerational women from all backgrounds and skill levels. As we sat there chatting, introducing...
Fiesta de Reyes Gala: Celebrating Culture, Community, and the Next Generation

I saw so many people dancing, chatting and overall having a great time. The music was exactly what you’d expect, hip-hop, R&B, all the...
Fall Vibes and Movie Nights
If there’s one thing Syracuse knows how to do, it’s host an outdoor movie night. Whether it's Romcoms at the Sound Garden or Wicked at the Amp, these seem to be a staple in the community for all ages. I loved going to the Moonlight Movie Series at the Amp, it was such a cool setup and fun experience but taking that walk from the parking lot with 2 little ones and a full stroller was a little difficult. That’s why I’m so excited about Syracuse's Parks and Rec's Movie Nights in the Park ....
