What D-Well Means To Me…
Moee Turbin
“It’s easier to say what D-Well has done for me than it is to say what I have done for D-Well, but being a part of such an incredible group of people empowers me every day. Being surrounded by so many creative and innovative minds makes me dream more, and strive for more as a whole. As the newest member, I’ve immediately seen my quality of life improve and my overall happiness. My outlook on life has expanded further in a positive direction and I see endless opportunities. In life itself. I can honestly say that life is extremely better in all aspects, and I am incredibly grateful for it each and every day. I have lived in the Las Vegas Valley for over 15 years, and this is the first time I have felt the safest in my home, especially being young and outside of my family’s jurisdiction for the last 4-6 years. Being a part of the D-Well program also makes it possible to live a sustainable life in one of the most beautiful parts of Las Vegas. It is such a pleasure to be a part of this program and the community that lives and thrives here in the 211 apartments. Though you live in a studio apart independently, you never feel alone or forgotten here. I’m more than happy to share my thoughts and appreciation for the D-Well program with anyone, and look forward to continuing to grow personally and professionally here.”

“D-well has allowed an opportunity to continue and expand both my personal arts practice and community based work. Living among the community in the 211 and downtown makes it easy and enjoyable to cultivate relationships and take part in various events in our community. In my experience D-well has been, and continues to be, an excellent platform for personal, professional and communal growth.”

“As a marketer and a creative at heart, D-Well has given me a space to nurture my passions and strengths. This program has given me a community platform to network with diverse groups and share my knowledge. In the same way, D-Well has also challenged me to push beyond my comfort zone and explore my interests. I often find myself immersed in uncharted territory, continuously allowing me to challenge my creativity.”

“The D-Well program is instrumental in my personal development. It has surrounded myself with creatives and entrepreneurs whom stimulate my creativity & connect me with others in my community. We are a bunch of like minded individuals though because we come from different backgrounds and life experiences, each person brings something unique to the table. Since we all live in a nearby environment opportunities for collisions, co-learning and connectedness happen frequently. I am sincerely grateful for this opportunity to be a part of this program.”

“As a designer or even musician, I tackle problems in a very structured way. I use that logic in a parallel way in every aspect of my life. In D-Well we focus on co-living, making “impact”. In times before I felt like i wanted it to be more – of what I wasn’t sure. But at the end of the day this community has taken me back to a time before I felt like I “learned too much”. It challenges me to go back to earlier memories like in grade school where we were put together for a group project. Only this time it’s not for a grade, it’s a real life scenario. To have the opportunity to make an actual impact in people’s lives. It holds a great responsibility which means a lot to me. We all have our own projects, collectively traveling in the same direction. Forward. It is a work in progress. But I believe if we all hold the grand purpose close to us that it can become far greater, bigger than any of us individually and that excites me.”

“D-Well is my backyard, my community, my group of friends, and my accountability partners to do positive work for our community, and our life goals. As a millennial entrepreneur, D-Well is helping me discover the balance of business metrics like revenue and expenses with social impact for my local community; while creating opportunities to make that positive social impact. I love my fellows in the D-Well cohort, and I’m grateful to be part of a community that I can count on. The #1 benefit of the program is being neighbors with a diverse group of friends that support one another in our own pursuit of making a positive impact on our community through our work. This support comes in the form of collaboration, networking, volunteering, and friendship. ”
