It’s still our city episode 22

In this episode of It’s Still Our City, I get to talk about Richmond in the early 2000s and how Best Friends Day came about. Thanks for having me - this was so fun and really amazing to create. Honored to be considered a part of the Richmond community. LINK TO PODCAST

Description: Shelley Callahan is a long time Richmonder who fell in love with the city more than 25 years ago while attending VCU. In the past two decades, Shelley has had the pleasure of running a local nonprofit called Books On Wheels for 8 years, running the Books, Bikes and Beyond thrift store and art gallery for 5 years, and helping to organize the BEST FRIENDS DAY festival for 10 years.

In 2021, Shelley designed and published the BEST FRIENDS DAY yearbook, which is a collaboration of incredible photography and art from amazing people all over the world and an effort to archive what was some of the most insanely fun experiences that Richmond had to offer in the early 2000's.
