7th + Grove

Tampa, FL

In the heart of historic Ybor City, 7th + Grove has become one of Tampa's most talked-about tables, and one of its warmest. Founded in 2019 by Dr. Vondalyn Crawford, Dr. Jamaris Glenn, and Khalilaa McDuffie, the restaurant grew from a simple observation: Tampa had all the soul of the South, but few places serving truly authentic Southern cooking. Their answer is a menu of elevated comfort food threaded with Guyanese influence, plates that feel like a family gathering and look like art. The kitchen leans into the classics and then pushes them somewhere new. Braised oxtails, the dish guests come back for again and again, arrive fall-apart tender. Collard green egg rolls, fried catfish and Gulf shrimp, smoked gouda grits, and pimento cheese fritters round out a menu that treats Southern staples with real care. It is food meant to be shared, lingered over, and remembered. The space matches the plates. Bold murals, teal velvet seating, and an open kitchen give the dining room an energy that carries from a weekday lunch into a late-night weekend crowd, where a thoughtful cocktail program takes over. The name says it best: Eat. Vibe. Flourish. 7th + Grove is Black-owned, women-owned, and LGBTQ+ owned, and it wears that identity as an invitation. Community sits at the center of everything here, from the way the room fills with regulars to the owners' belief that food is a universal storyteller with a way of bringing people together. Whether you are stopping in for shrimp and grits at midday or gathering friends for oxtails and cocktails after dark, you are welcomed like you belong, because here, you do. Next door, the same team runs Roast on 7th, a coffee shop and bakery, making the block a small hub of Southern hospitality in Ybor City.

Every Dollar Countz / We Gonna Learn Today

Tampa, FL

We Gonna Learn Today is a Tampa-based, Black-owned 501(c)(3) nonprofit on a simple mission: empowering minds one student, one family, one neighborhood at a time. We do it by teaching the subjects that build strong, self-reliant communities: Black History, Civics, Financial Literacy, and Coding. Founded by retired U.S. Marine and disabled veteran Matthew D. Hale, our platform grew out of a belief that every child deserves access to knowledge that too often gets left out of the classroom. What started in 2020 has grown into a full learning ecosystem built around our Black Historical Figures workbook series and a free, interactive website anyone can use. Our programs meet learners where they are. The Digital Library and Interactive Library put lessons, activities, and stories right at your fingertips, while our Paperback Library brings the same material home in print. Younger learners sing and remember with our Sing Along Songs, and our WGLT-TV video content turns history and money lessons into something families can watch and talk about together. Our mobile app is available on the Google Play Store, with an Apple release on the way, so learning can travel wherever you go. Financial literacy sits at the heart of what we do. We believe understanding money is a form of freedom, and we teach it in plain language alongside the history and civics that help young people understand their place in the world. Coding rounds it out, opening doors to the skills that shape the future. Everything we build is designed to be welcoming, affordable, and rooted in pride. We serve students, parents, and whole neighborhoods, and we keep our core online resources free so cost is never the reason a child goes without. As a veteran-founded, Black-owned organization, we carry the values of service and community in everything we create. We are an online-first platform serving the greater Tampa Bay area and beyond. Whether you are a parent looking to start the money conversation early, a teacher searching for culturally grounded material, or a young learner curious about the figures who shaped history, there is a place for you here. Reach us anytime at info@wegonnalearntoday.com, and come learn with us. We gonna learn today.
