Meet Alia Berry

I’m a licensed social worker, educator, grief specialist, and systems strategist.
For two decades, I’ve worked alongside teams across reentry, education, violence prevention, and housing—building programs, leading training, and helping systems shift from within.

Seeds & Berries was built to offer technical and healing support in moments that matter.
That might mean holding space through clinical consultation, grounding a coalition before a big push, or supporting staff who are overwhelmed and stretched thin.
I’m also the founder of the Village Revival Project, where I guide our mission to revive communities through art—creating healing spaces that humanize our neighbors and rebuild collective heartbeat.
We use transformative, art-based dialogue and public storytelling to address the root causes of violence and foster social cohesion from the sidewalk up.

I move between boardrooms, classrooms, and jail cells.
