Besa Gordon recently joined Good Day Seattle to  highlight the impactful work of Northwest Credible Messenger, a Federal Way-based organization dedicated to providing mentorship, behavioral health, and community-centered programming to youth and young adults. The focus was a creative wellness workshop held in partnership with The Re-Sole 206, Seattle’s first sneaker dry cleaner. 

Hosted inside The Re-Sole 206’s Central District space, the workshop leveraged sneaker customization as a meditative and expressive tool. Attendees worked on culturally relevant shoes like Air Force 1s, transforming them into unique personal art while reconnecting with peers and mentors.

Gordon also underscored Northwest Credible Messenger’s distinguishing commitment to a holistic, community-wide approach to care. Beyond youth support, the organization serves adults through initiatives like barbershop and beauty shop behavioral health programs, meeting community members where they are with care and connection. Ultimately, the workshop reflected the power of listening and creating designated, safe spaces that foster genuine relationships and restore trust across the region.
