Welcome to #VideoFriday. Here at The Black Urbanist and across our other platforms, we will either highlight a great video on placemaking or début one of our own videos, much like we do now on #AudioThursdays. I want to start this series by showing the video below, a very cute and light way to highlight not only working as a community and a team, but the idea of traveling in a group, say on the bus, train or walking together Have a great weekend everyone!

Kristen Jeffers has always been interested in how cities work. She’s also always loved writing things. She went off to a major state university, got a communication degree and then started a more professional Blogger site. Then, in her graduate seminar on urban politics, along with browsing the urbanist blogosphere, she realized that her ideas should have a stronger, clearer voice, one that reflects her identity as a Black southern woman. And with that The Black Urbanist blog was born. Seven years, one Twitter account, one self-published book, two podcasts and a litany of speeches and urban planning projects later, here we are.
