Here's a glimpse of our August 28th Hampton Roads Doxa Dinner at the Woman's Club of Portsmouth! The Doxa Dinner community funded micro-grant totaled $1000 and StudioKuumba took home the prize!
Congratulations, Alora Bess!
Studio Kuumba helps adults rediscover the joy of creative play. In a welcoming and beautiful space, Alora empowers individuals and groups to explore their artistic potential, nurture their well-being, and connect with others through meaningful, hands-on creativity.
Alora plans to use the Doxa Dinner micro-grant to scale the creative-centered workshop side of her business; building the capacity to reach more organizations, strengthen professional development offerings, and expand the impact of creativity as a tool for well-being and connection.
Thursday night was about more than pitches; it was about neighbors breaking bread, sharing stories, and in doing so, celebrating the beauty of community.
Thank you for sharing your hearts, your stories, and your dreams with us.
