Come porching with us as Joanna Taft from the Harrison Center shares her story over a Gin Rickey. Joanna grew up in Washington D.C. knowing that she wanted to solve problems in the Federal Government. That was until she met her husband and they moved to Cambridge City, Indiana where she worked as a program coordinator for Huddleson House. In that role, she learned how to embrace and build communities, which is now the core of her projects. Joanna, her husband, Bill, and young daughter moved to the Herron-Morton neighborhood in 1991. Although it is now the home of some of Indy's most coveted properties, it was not then. Its evolution over the last 30 years is partially contributed to Joanna and Bill's efforts in achieving their family mission: “The healing of the city." Together, they helped start a church, The Oaks Academy, the Harrison Center, and Herron High School in the Herron-Morton neighborhood. You can now find Joanna hosting Porch Parties every Sunday to build community with her neighbors, working on PreEnact Indy, and sharing the stories of the Greatriarchs in Indianapolis. Tune in to learn about the different forms of gentrification, how to embrace the history of your neighborhood, and about Joanna's newest projects. Drink deep of the culture that surrounds you with Joanna Taft from the Harrison Center.
