About Authentically CLE

Authentically CLE is about telling the stories of the people behind the businesses and non-profits of Cleveland. Beyond a great meal or a fun event, it’s the connection to the people who create, innovate, and serve that this blog will explore.

Authentically CLE is about celebrating the work being done in the city, but more importantly, celebrating the people who are doing it. It’s about acknowledging that our greatest and most certain natural resource is our people.

We are all authentically CLE. And we all have stories to share.

About Jen

I’m a CLE gal, born and raised. And I’ve lived other places, but I always come back home – by choice, not by chance. I love Cleveland and love sharing stories about the people who live here.
