Where Community, Creativity & Care Meet…

Whether it’s launching a new initiative, supporting during moments of crisis, or creating space for healing and change—Seeds & Berries is there.

Led by licensed social worker Alia Berry, who brings over 25 years of expertise in violence intervention, education, program development, arts-based healing, policy advocacy, clinical care, and beyond.

From Newark’s classrooms to correctional facilities and from coalitions to national conferences, Seeds & Berries empowers community to move forward with purpose, structure, and heart.

What We Do

Nurturing growth from within by supporting leaders and communities through healing, skill-building, and strategic guidance.

Each service is crafted to foster growth, resilience, and well-being.

Sidewalk Talk

‘Sidewalk Talk’ is Seeds & Berries’ premier podcast. This platform features two dynamic seasons of interviews with community-based professionals from Newark, New Jersey. Throughout the 20 episodes, guests share stories, first hand insight and provide clarity on misconceptions about the streets and those they serve.

This dialogue lifts up voices from the frontlines but also creates a space for local organizations to support client outreach efforts across the ecosystem, gain exposure to possible funding streams and/or offer calls to action to donors and the community at-large.
