🏘️ Discover the Legacy of The Bottom 🏘️

Once a thriving Black community in Knoxville, Tennessee, The Bottom was a beacon of entrepreneurship, homeownership, and excellence. But as urban renewal swept through, it left a void and displaced the vibrant spirit that once defined the neighborhood. 🏚️✨

In our latest reel, we uncover the powerful story of The Bottom—its rich history, the impact of urban removal, and the inspiring revival led by its own residents. Watch how the community is coming together to restore its legacy and build a brighter future. 🌟

Join us in celebrating the resilience and dedication that’s bringing The Bottom back to life. Reclaiming history, embracing the future. 📽️💪

[ORIGINS] And so, the saga continues—though we prefer to call it a "reawakening." 🌟 Our visionary founder, Daesya Parker, graced the stage at PechaKucha Night Knoxville, weaving a spellbinding tale of her own origin story. Today, we invite you to journey with us as Daesya shares how this experience has rekindled her passion and excitement for the enchanting work of Silver Lining Productions.

FROM THE DESK OF OUR FOUNDER:

🌌 I am profoundly thankful to PechaKucha for bestowing upon me the chance to speak and for dedicating an honorarium to the extraordinary Black women who have not only shaped me but the very essence of our culture. Among these incredible women is my grandmother, the heart of my "why." Her story isn’t merely one of resilience—it’s a testament to triumph against cosmic odds. As a sharecropper during the Jim Crow era, she embarked on a brave quest northward during "The Great Migration," driven by a dream of "more"—a dream as elusive as a silver lining in the storm.

🌠 My grandmother’s journey birthed a legacy of dreamers, those who dare to hope for "more" when they've only known "less." This profound realization—that her story is the very soul of Silver Lining Productions—fills us with awe. Here, we create a sacred space where the stories of our ancestors find rest and where ordinary hearts awaken into dreamers. Together, we dream with boundless enthusiasm, shaping the world our dreams envision.

🌟 A heartfelt thank you to PechaKucha for guiding me back to my origins and gently reminding me of my purpose.

✨ Stay tuned to our Facebook and Instagram for a cascade of exciting magic this fall! 🌟 Curious about my PechaKucha presentation? Embark on the journey here: https://www.pechakucha.com/presentations/well-4-my-soul-an-homage-to-the-rest-deck
