As a recent homebuyer in Nashville, I've been thinking a lot about the impact that my presence in this historically lower-income neighborhood might have on the community. I've seen the changes happening around me - trendy coffee shops, artisanal boutiques, and upscale restaurants popping up where there used to be only local businesses and family-owned shops. And while I'm excited to be a part of a revitalizing neighborhood, I'm also concerned about the potential negative effects of gentrification.

That's why I decided to reach out to Dr. Nishani Frazier, a scholar who has extensively researched gentrification and its impact on marginalized communities. In our conversation, Dr. Frazier helped me better understand the complexities of economic change in urban communities and challenged some of my preconceived notions about gentrification.

One of the things that Dr. Frazier emphasized was the fact that gentrification is not a monolithic phenomenon - there are many different forms of gentrification, and they can have vastly different impacts on communities.

Let me know what you think!
