Art Partners stood out for having served so long in Coatesville, but needing to shutter for financial reasons, right before the Opportunity Zone brought big $ investment to the city. When people ask me how to help in Coatesville, I encourage that they look for those already doing the work, and support or amplify those folks from behind the scenes. We lost a great org when we lost Art Partners. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/551428a0e4b02a4b04e4e5d2/1605975905636-AV1VOFH37UO6MX3KIZ90/fathersday-7567.jpg Contributors Lucius Jacks aka Flowz Rapper and entrepreneur Lucius Jacks drops some of the most memorable advice in our film, encouraging young talent to go big, but bring it back to the small town. And that’s exactly what he’s doing: currently living and working in Atlanta, with frequent trips home to see his “Three Es”…twins and an older daughter, herself a small business owner. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/551428a0e4b02a4b04e4e5d2/1605967570301-0DBBTIHQVOHZFFDDS0GH/bridge_harmony-8764.jpg Contributors Aadil Malik Aadil is the author of our eponymous poem, BYPASSED, which serves as our theme song/anthem. A spoken word poet who lived in Coatesville and attended Collegium Charter School, Aadil is recently married and lives in Delaware. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/551428a0e4b02a4b04e4e5d2/1605981173637-FRON6I24C96XL3CIFZK2/15591616_1561728643844211_5671187161400147839_o.jpg Contributors Thaddeus Tunney “This project is bullish*t”….I’m paraphrasing, but these were Thadd’s first words to me, after finding our project on Facebook. He didn’t expect to hear from me or to land on camera, but his sobering take on city life was an important angle to include amid the positive. Transitioning out of homelessness brought his family of 4 back to the ‘Ville, and like many, affordable housing patterns in Chester County may some day push them out. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/551428a0e4b02a4b04e4e5d2/1605965666090-BNQK5TVU5LTTRMS4GVAC/AGP_3265.jpg Contributors Geri Allen + Pamela Depte Ms Geri and Ms Pam were chosen for their roles as community matriarchs and early residents of the Oak Street Projects. In the face of hardship and economic struggle, they used ingenuity and creativity to lift up and inspire countless children in Coatesville. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/551428a0e4b02a4b04e4e5d2/1605967535180-E36QOVUO09QOJ005PXM1/bypassed_jonandronjae-19.jpg Contributors Ronjae Jones As a filmmaking student at Morehouse, Ronjae was a member of one of the HBCU’s most notable classes, famously gifted student loan pay-off by billionaire Robert F. Smith. Now on his own path to a filmmaking career, Ronaje was a production assistant and provided archival sports footage for our film. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/551428a0e4b02a4b04e4e5d2/1605976927129-243E1BMMBTA5EA0E51YK/peacewalk-8950.jpg Contributors Pastor Montez Jones As a child, Montez was part of the Oak Street family that Ms Pam and Ms Gerri led in putting on talent shows and runway expos. Legend has it he has a beautiful singing voice. As a pastor, he has founded and leads Judah Ministries, serves as Chaplain for the Coatesville Police Department, and currently works at Brandywine Hospital. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/551428a0e4b02a4b04e4e5d2/1605980993979-KETNO73S97WNT8MBJUFZ/15541177_1559877067362702_928581479837542005_n.jpg Contributors Allen Tyrone Smith We chose Mr. Smith for our panel of storytellers because he deeply understands how financial interests and shifts in demographics are related. No enemy of progress, Mr. Smith sees a way for Coatesville’s redevelopment to side step the typical pitfalls of gentrification. Will his message be heard by those with the power to influence the Coatesville of tomorrow? Time will tell. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/551428a0e4b02a4b04e4e5d2/1605975270423-CGT8FKP6RLEUB6U58ZWJ/bypassed-2808.jpg Contributors Jon + Jennifer Kasitz Visiting the Kasitz family at their West End home, it’s hard to remember they are, by Coatesville standards, ‘new comers’. Their lush gardens, hand-built outbuildings and sense of warmth invite an outsider to reimagine what’s possible in a city backyard. Their 3 children are thriving as students of Coatesville schools. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/551428a0e4b02a4b04e4e5d2/1605975165645-JRJ0TBEUJTRSXW5Q0DVH/ross-2743.jpg Contributors Ross Kershey A retired championship coach and educator within the Coatesville School District, Mr. Kershey touched innumerable lives with his leadership. In his retirement years, Ross has presented his storied ‘History of Coatesville’ presentation to many organizations in and around the region. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/551428a0e4b02a4b04e4e5d2/1605975330208-OT91AEVHEV75I1S4867H/DSC_5847.jpg Contributors Aja + Avery Thompson Twins who graduated from CASH in 2014, Aja and Avery have struck out to navigate their 20s as individuals. They have both launched entrepreneurial and creative side projects while working full time to subsidize their dreams. Twin stars, on the rise. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/551428a0e4b02a4b04e4e5d2/1605965721928-YFJSNB4HCTIL4KYAWGRL/bypassed_jonandronjae-1.jpg Contributors Jonathan Rodriguez Once active in Coatesville grassroots efforts to create the Hispanic Commission of Coatesville, Jonathan has stepped back and is focused on investment education along with his wife, Marilyn.
