Our Community Initiative

The B3 Partnership nonprofit is dedicated to enhancing community development in over 83 neighborhoods of Southwest Atlanta. Our flagship program, Southwest Living ATL, focuses on community media and storytelling.

A History of Injustice

Southwest Atlanta's neighborhoods, much like many Black communities throughout America, have been deeply shaped by generations of systemic disinvestment, redlining, and narratives that aimed to undervalue their inherent worth. This stigma was not a coincidence; it served as a tool for marginalization.


These same systemic forces have historically led to displacement — developments that appear not to benefit, but to replace existing residents. At B3 Partnership, a nonprofit committed to authentic community development in Atlanta, we vehemently reject that model. Our mission aligns with Southwest Living ATL, emphasizing the importance of uplifting the voices and needs of the community we serve.

Meet Southwest Living ATL

Through Southwest Living ATL, we're creating a dedicated platform that celebrates the life, culture, and homes of Southwest Atlanta — a neighborhood where the community thrives and speaks for itself, on its own terms.


As we embark on this journey, we are thrilled to announce our collaboration with B3 Partnership nonprofit, which focuses on community development Atlanta. Together, we aim to uplift and inspire.
