Today's guest is Juana. For the first time on Tales from the Manor we have a non-resident, non-employee. Juana splits her time between California and South Carolina to take care of her mother, who lives in Joseph Floyd Manor. Juana's mother has lived at Joseph Floyd Manor for 28 years. She grew up on Dukes Court, a side street close to Nassau on the East Side and is blown away by the changes in Charleston over the past 50 years.⠀

He is an accomplished painter with artwork displayed at the Kentucky Derby, rides horses and is an amateur entomologist (bug scientist).

We love Santi’s, a neighborhood Mexican joint in the Upper Peninsula that weaves community together. Our team shared lunch together today and saw old friends, met new folks, and enjoyed the bustling vibe. Javier, the manager, values creativity and weaves art throughout the restaurant. Check out the poem about making fresh tortillas still on the entry window from Awakening:Nourish next time you are there! And, EP helped connect muralist @luckyboyart to this delicious mural project last year — isn’t she lovely? Honored to be your neighbor, @santisdowntown!

This morning we greeted the MLK Day Parade marchers as the Cheer Squad, spreading smiles, snacks, and kazoos. Our chariot was decorated by PROMISE THE DRAGON, a creation from the kids at Sanders Clyde Elementary envisioned by Jen of Puppet Club & Street Creature (@streetcreaturepuppets). Thank you to the YWCA Greater Charleston for putting together this annual celebration and letting us be a part of it! @ywca_gc #MLKDay #MLKParade

After 3 years, the Avery Research Center has been re-opened. Built in the 1860s, this treasured, historic landmark has a long history in Charleston, first serving as the Avery Normal Institute, providing the Black community of Charleston with educational and professional development opportunities for nearly a century. Since then, it has been a prime research and education hub and museum, uplifting stories and vestiges of the Black experience.
