Friends! I’m excited to share more about the journey of starting Habibi Village and the intention behind it: supporting and participating in a circular economy, strengthening our local ecosystem, and how we impact building resilient micro-communities.
If you’re a small business owner, thinking about starting something of your own, or simply an Asheville resident who wants to better understand and engage in conversations around local economies and community resilience, I’d love to have you join us.
We’ll also talk about purpose, your “why” and why having a clear, meaningful reason behind what you’re building can help carry you through the uncertainty, resilience, and growth that come with running a small business.
And part of that conversation is recognizing that how we participate locally matters. Voting with your dollar where you shop, eat, and invest and participating in local civic life, including your city council, are both ways we help shape the communities we live in.
All you need you to bring is a notebook, a pen, and your presence.
