Edible LIVE: A Conversation with Jax Placemakers at Bold Bean Coffee Roasters

I had a great time capturing the energy at Edible LIVE – A Conversation with Jax Placemakers hosted by Edible Northeast Florida at Bold Bean Coffee Roasters Riverside in Jacksonville, FL. This engaging panel brought together local creative voices including Kandice K. Clark, Creative Placemaking Specialist for Riverside Avondale Preservation, and Kanesha Boyette, founder of the Jax Letter Writing Project, with thoughtful moderation by Mara Strobel-Lanka. The conversation flowed alongside expertly crafted coffee in the vibrant Riverside neighborhood, offering guests insights into community projects, creative placemaking, and the power of thoughtful collaboration.

From the lively Q&A to candid moments shared over bold espresso and local bites, every frame tells a story of connection, creativity, and community. I’m so grateful to have documented such inspiring conversations and the people who make Jacksonville’s cultural landscape come alive. Thank you to Edible Northeast Florida and Bold Bean Coffee Roasters Riverside for hosting such a fun and memorable evening!
