  • We’re back for round two of the Choose901 Back to School Pop Up Shop and we’ve hidden a free shirt token outside of our office on the fourth floor! Here’s a clue: What do seals have and what do they like to do? I’m found underneath something that has and does the same. GOOD LUCK! #choose901

  • It doesn't take much to impact someone's life. Sometimes all it takes is for the right person to show up. The 5th graders at @grizzliesprep invite you to show up—not everyday and not with some planned out life-changing speech. For 30 minutes, once a week, you're encouraged to step into their world to share a meal, to share encouragement, and to share good times with new friends as their new Lunch Buddy 🙂 Use the link in our bio to sign up for an upcoming info session and tag someone you think would make a great buddy. #choose901

  • Harlem Week 2019 is well under way and you're probably wondering what that has to do with Memphis. Seeing the similarities between the two "iconic communities," Harlem is honoring Memphis's bicentennial by bringing a cohort of Memphis entertainers to the "Big Apple." Know a Memphian who's now a New Yorker? Tell them to head to Harlem for a hearty helping of home. Use the link in our bio to see the line-up of events! #choose901 📸: @harlemweek
