What does legacy look like? ✨
For Body, Stone & Soul, it’s a Black-owned crystal shop radiating good energy, and a family vision for healing that lasts generations.
Mother-son duo Tasha and Marcel have created a sanctuary that blends retail and ritual: ethically sourced crystals and sage, tarot readings, reiki sessions, and a welcoming space for community connection.
DBEDC invests in wellness, and this sanctuary is just around the corner.
#BlackBusinessMonth
The Healey-Driscoll Administration has announced funding for the 68 Homes Preservation and Rehabilitation Project—a scattered-site initiative that will protect long-term affordability and improve living conditions across eight buildings in Hyde Park and Roslindale.
The effort—led by Southwest Boston Community Development Corporation and co-developed with Dorchester Bay Economic Development Corporation—has been years in the making. It models how mission-aligned CDCs can partner to expand capacity for affordable housing preservation and anti-displacement efforts.
