FREEWAY Fashion Show Recap 👗🛣️

We just made history by transforming the 805 into the runway for the first-ever FREEWAY Fashion Show! Every piece featured was upcycled for the good of the planet, proving that fashion and sustainability can go hand in hand. This has never been done before on this scale, and we’re so proud to have created a moment that highlights the power of unity and creativity. ♻️✨

This event wasn’t just about fashion—it was about bringing our community together. Through the incredible support of @mundogardens and the Green Corridor Project, we reclaimed space that’s often used to divide us, turning it into a platform for art, connection, and empowerment.

Thank you to everyone who joined us in this groundbreaking moment! We showed that highways don’t have to separate us—they can bring us together. Here’s to more events that push boundaries, uplift our community, and work towards a greener, more united future. 🌿❤️

Green Corridor Project: Connecting Communities Bike Ride
@thehomegrownprojectsd

Connecting Communities Bike Ride Recap 🚲🎨👗

Saturday, we made history by taking over the 805 for the Connecting Communities Bike Ride! What started as a freeway takeover back in 1971, turned into a celebration of community, creativity, and sustainability. From live art to a stunning upcycled fashion show, every moment highlighted our love for the planet and each other. 🌍💚

This ride wasn’t just about reclaiming the highway—it was about reclaiming space for the people. People of color, artists, and community leaders came together to uplift the Green Corridor Project, an initiative focused on giving land back to the community for art, connection, and healing. What once divided us now brought us together.

Thank you to everyone who joined in this powerful movement of art, fashion, and unity. Together, we’re building a future where the community thrives and our environment is protected. 🌿✨

Nuestra misión es animar y elevar a la comunídad utilizando nuestra cultura, y consientes de nuestra salud. The goal is to uplift the social determinants of health in our neighborhoods. We want to create positive outcomes through the radical power of our culture. Our approach is steeped in raw cultural experience, embracing the colorful history of our comunidad. We foster relationships with community artistas, local musicians, and revered community elders. Our approach is culturally responsive, inclusive, and empowering. By keeping the neighborhoods healthy and strong we will continue to plant the seeds of resilience, healing, art, nutrition, and love within our community.
