The spirit of community was alive and thriving this past weekend as Legendary Soles hosted its Back to School Shoe Giveaway at the Frederick Douglass Center. Families from across the city came together for an afternoon filled generosity, celebration and preparation for the school year.

Families were excited about the event. In fact, they were so excited that they began lining the Frederick Douglass Center’s parking lot at 11:30am even though the event didn’t begin until 2:00pm. Legendary Soles organizers Keasja Peace, Erykah Finn and Larry Green went above and beyond the basics by pulling together various resources from across Toledo offering free shoes, backpacks, haircuts, hairstyles and nail painting to help students look and feel their best and they continue with the school year.

The event also featured free food, live entertainment from DJ Stevie Chanel and resource tables, helping to create a fun and positive atmosphere that was balanced with purpose.

For many families, the cost of shoes and school supplies can add up quickly. By lifting that financial burden, Legendary Soles provided not only practical help but also a boost of confidence for students that will allow them to focus on success in the classroom. One parent who attended the event summed it up best “I didn’t know how I’d get new shoes for my child this year. This event means everything to us.”

Legendary Soles plans to continue building on this momentum, with hopes of expanding outreach and partnerships in the future to serve even more families.

In Episode 8 of Out Of Focus, Jesse Coleman sits down with DJ Stevie Chanel for a powerful and deeply honest conversation about identity, family, and recovery. Stevie opens up about growing up in a faith-based household and the challenges she faced when her family struggled to accept her homosexual lifestyle. She shares how that lack of acceptance led to distance from her parents, living with her grandmother, and entering a toxic first lesbian relationship that had a lasting impact on her emotional well-being. As the weight of unresolved trauma grew, Stevie found herself battling alcohol and spiraling further away from who she was meant to be. This episode traces Stevie’s turning point—finding Team Recovery, embracing accountability, and rediscovering gratitude as a daily practice. Through recovery, she’s rebuilding her life, her relationships, and her passion for music, stepping back into the DJ world with a renewed sense of purpose. This is a raw, real, and inspiring story about resilience, self-acceptance, and the power of gratitude in both personal healing and professional growth.
