Founder - Lindsey Langley-Liboreiro.Lindsey Langley-Liboreiro is a community advocate in the Northeast Nashville community and also the Sr. Executive Director for the American Cancer Society across the state of Tennessee. Lindsey is a Nashville native and transplant from New Orleans. Moving back to the city in 2012, she started working in her adopted neighborhood of Katie Hill to improve the lives of its residents by building relationships with residents and community officials to provide resources to families and children such as school supplies, educational resources, basic necessities, and gifts at Christmas. Lindsey is dedicated to working with local business owners, community leaders, and government officials to preserve and revitalize Northeast Nashville neighborhoods- including Katie Hill, Talbot’s Corner, Historic Dickerson Road, Heaton’s Station/Lock One Park, and Brick Church Pike Business Park. Lindsey guest lectures at schools, universities, and businesses on many different topics related to community and public relations. Lindsey created Project NENA in November of 2015 to create a voice, provide assistance during times of need, and opportunities for existing residents in Northeast Nashville communities. Lindsey was also recently named a 2021 Nashville Business Journal 40 under 40 and Nashville Scene's Civic Do-Gooder of the year Written By: Jim Ridley Rather than just joining the chorus of futile tut-tutting over gentrification, New Orleans transplant and Nashville native Lindsey Langley (aka Lynclair) is preaching a potent alternative: revitalization that lifts and invites a community without forcing out its longtime citizens. Better still, she’s doing it by example in her adopted home, the Katie Hill neighborhood off Brick Church Pike, working to improve the lives of residents and not just their property values. Langley volunteers on multiple fronts as a community organizer, including affordable housing, while pushing to rebrand the neglected neighborhood for residents of all income levels. At the same time, she has mounted school-supply drives, toy drives, clothing drives, even a GoFundMe campaign for 11-year-old shooting victim Keon Malone and his family, who were faced with crushing expenses after a stray bullet from a nearby dispute left the boy with critical head injuries. Want to avoid the tense flare-ups between old and new in communities across the city? Start by showing a genuine interest in your neighbors’ well-being. |
