Someone once told me, “If you want to make an impact, you don’t wait until it’s perfect — you just do it.”
And that really stuck with me.
When I first moved to Arkansas, I didn’t know anyone, but this community welcomed me with open arms. Little Rock quickly became home — it’s where I’ve built my business, raised my kids, and met some of the kindest people I’ve ever known.
For a long time, I’ve wanted to give something back that was bigger than business. Something that brought people together, gave kids something positive to be part of, and showed how powerful community care really is.
That’s how Buzz the Block was born. 💛
Starting November 7th, we’ll be kicking off our very first Buzz the Block Community Cleanup — from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM, with lunch served to all volunteers and youth.
We’ll need about 10-15 youth volunteers and 10-12 adult helpers for this first cleanup day.
Our youth will help collect and bag trash, while adults will assist with supervision, supply stations, and safe bag pickup.
Thanks to the City of Little Rock Sustainability Office and Waste Management, we’ll have all the supplies we need — safety vests, litter grabbers, and trash bags — to keep our volunteers safe and prepared.

This is just the beginning, but I truly believe this could grow into something beautiful for our city cleaner streets, prouder neighborhoods, and stronger hearts.
