Headline: How does the non profit organization Baileys Cafe positively affect the neighborhood (specifically the block) despite the ongoing changes that are happening in this area of Bed-stuy?

Sub headline/overview: Baileys Cafe is a not for profit organization whose mission is to connect generations to make a better world. The organization Baileys Cafe is owned by a white women (who is not from the area) who came into the neighborhood and purchased a space about a year ago when it was formerly a barbershop. Many people see her as a gentrifier, but she tries her hardest not to be looked at in that way by creating programs that are meant for the people of the community.

When doing my project, I want to focus on Baileys Cafe and the positive impact it is having on the community, despite the gentrification that’s surrounding it.
