In the heart of South City is a coffee shop where some patrons say has the best coffee in town.

And right here at the Drip Community Coffee House is a place of love, of kindness, of activism, of hope, of power.

And we're the shepherd of this house always says, "Welcome home, family."

♪♪ We always say, "Welcome home, family."

Because I say family, because that means that not only am I accountable to you, you're accountable to me, and we are accountable to this house to make sure that we take care of the house.

We are responsible for each other.

We want you to feel seen, loved, and cared for.

You never know who's gonna come in and what they're feeling that day.

And sometimes it's just very important just to have a human connection and just feel seen.

A sentiment that weighs heavy on this owner's heart as she was intentional about where she opened the coffee shop.

We're not business as usual at the drip.

I wanted to go where the problems are.

I wanted to come where brothers and sisters that were addicted to drugs, that were struggling.

I wanted to provide a beautiful space in the heart of that to create a space that we all can feel seen and loved in.

A gem in the heart of South City, chronicling the good, the bad, and the ugly of America's history.

With some of our country's most political movements on the walls with incredible leaders like Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X, Frida Kahlo, Gandhi, every single piece of property in this home is intentional, including banned books as part of the Banned Book Library.

I always say I wish the White House looked like this, right?

Our struggles, our pains, our ups, our downs, it's on the wall so we can have comfortable and uncomfortable conversations about what is happening in hopes to change it, right?

And sometimes you gotta be the change that you're looking for.

I just want it to be where nobody else want it to be.
