"CO.STARTERS helped me understand my value and figure out how to grow... I think financial success and emotional fulfillment are often sold as being mutually exclusive, but we get to choose our realities, and having both is possible."
We are committed to emboldening our city’s entrepreneurial spirits, supporting the invaluable work of our nonprofit sector, amplifying Birmingham’s creative voices, and providing opportunities for our constituents.
Holiday gifting can be stressful in general, and this year — well, it might feel impossible! Many of us aren’t just searching for the perfect gift; we are trying to be intentional and impactful with our giving. Our staff has come up with a few picks of our own — gifts we’d love to give and receive — just in case you needed some inspiration.
"To succeed as an architect, I think you have to be a constant observer of what works over here, what worked there, or what worked a hundred years ago. I hope to know that I'm doing something, while being respectful of wherever I am in the world with the architecture, to create good buildings."
