Can We Curate, Educate & Activate With Parties and Placemaking ? My Guests: Kady Yellow and Haley Wright Tinkle

Schmooze with Suze

Join me as I recount my biggest failure from the Suzie Sucks Scrapbook!
Serendipity meant for me to keep this for 15 years until I met these two modern muses, who inspired me to realize that bravery, creativity and resilience are a necessity for building, collaboration and reinvention.
Welcome to the vibrant world of Kady Yellow 💛 and Haley Wright Tinkle 💝 where innovation meets artistry and passion fuels every endeavor!
Kady is the Senior Director of Placemaking and Haley is the Director of Events behind Downtowns Vision, Inc.and together, they are the leading dynamic forces behind the Placemaking Task Force here in Jacksonville.
Both women are a sponge for information and innovation, as well as a pitcher that pours into every planter around them- watering seeds you didn't even know were there. Haley has made a name for herself through a unique blend of creativity and forward-thinking solutions in the event and project planning space, while Kady is a powerhouse of placemaking and community building. Combined, there is a synergy between sociology and urban planning, activation and community collaboration, with a keen eye for detail and an unwavering commitment to excellence.

Kady delves into the world of placemaking and how it empowers residents to shape their public spaces, fostering unity and cultural exchange. Haley shares the magic behind creating vibrant community hubs through thoughtfully curated events. Together, we explore how placemaking and events can create cohesive environments, drawing inspiration from the vibrant streets of our marvelous mosaic.
Our conversation extends to the nuances of building inclusive community spaces, emphasizing the need for genuine engagement and how anyone can participate in building the boroughs of our bold city by showing up.
These "Divas of Downtown" even offer to hold your hand at the next experience- just come on OTB*!
