    Cleveland Metanoia Project: A seasonal no barrier shelter featuring Executive Director Sara Godfrey

    Community advocates and resources are bridging the gap on the east side of Cleveland this winter. The stigma associated with homelessness is distrust of other providers, bans from other shelters, mental or physical health concerns, or simply personal preference. Tis the season to be warm, happy and filled with hope for those who are seeking shelter to avoid being cold. Come and stay with a seasonal no barrier shelter that offers resources, meals and opportunities. Metanoia Project, was formed in 2007 by a group of homeless outreach workers and advocates in response to a burgeoning unsheltered population in Cleveland. Operating a winter shelter for folks who can’t or won’t be served by the larger/traditional shelter system. Whatever the reason folks are outside, Our primary goal is to make sure no one freezes to death in Cleveland. Once guests have been able to address their basic needs, we are also available to connect them with resources they may want and need like affordable housing, recovery services, and medical care. Our services are entirely voluntary and we do not require anything from guests who seek shelter other than adherence to our basic shelter safety rules.

    The possibilities of our community thriving with unity featuring Maurice Maubury

    Our economy is crippling due to violence, discrimination and unfair justice  through many political practices. Many issues can be resolved with unity because color and gender are detrimental factors in evolution, we as people must learn the systemic design and creation of division. Making the world great again with understanding the systemic manipulations created for division is the beginning phase for change. Facts will reveal the economy built for separation to control our outcome.  Maurice maximized his time by furthering his education and double majored in psychology and theology to find out why we, as a black people, have been targeted and brainwashed to have a black inferior complex that we have collectively been groomed to accept and live by. Maurice began to change his life from a gangster being feared in the streets and prison, and his own brainwashing to becoming humble in a world where humbleness is conceived to be a sign of weakness. Living by examples he never had was now the focus. Maurice began to assist with putting on plays for ‘scared straight’ in prison, learned and taught “Anger Management” and “Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff,” along with receiving certification from the Chemical Dependency board as a Chemical Dependency Counselor Assistant (CDCA), became a certified mental health specialist and several other programs to assist in changing the mindset that we have been groomed to have which causes us to act as we do. Maurice studied business management and copyrighted several businesses from 1997-2000, including COLLECTIVE MINDS, LLC. Collective Minds, LLC. was born from the passion Marbury has overall for black people. Maurice came home from prison October 12, 2004 with a mind that was changed and ready for society. Maurice realized that he could change his learned thought process to one that allows him to make better decisions in life and knowing it can do the same for others. Maurice formulated the plan for Collective Minds LLC., while in prison but began to apply it as a business in 2015 based on the attributable foundations: “Cultural Awareness, Education, Economic Development, and Empowerment” of US that we as a black people need to acknowledge and digest in order to stop being divided, and to become a united people, COLLECTIVELY.
