Espirit is an ongoing coffee fundraiser to support the start-up cost of The New Church, an initiative to provide an all inclusive space for people of color in order to facilitate the circulation of resources surrounding the community, holistic health, wealth and self-advancement while also providing more alternative understandings of the historical black presence. The New Church aims to position itself as the first permanently placed non-profit (predominantly LGBTQ and BIPOC affirming) community space in Louisiana to be formed with the specific mission of applying alternative healing practices, while also solving political and social problems with contemporary art as a primary vehicle.
