Driftwood Village Project

We discuss:

A proposed ordinance that would make it illegal for the homeless to camp, sleep or store their belongings on public property anywhere in Mobile. This includes bridges, railroad or public right of ways, and parks. This ordinance, if passed, will be a direct assault on some of the most vulnerable citizens, and criminalizes them for being homeless.

The purpose of Driftwood Village Project: to create a bi-partisan alliance of concerned citizens focused on the establishment of a homeless village in Mobile, like homeless solutions established in other cities across America, where the homeless of Mobile can reside in a safe place to get “anchored” and prepare for affordable housing.

Seattle’s solution for sheltering the homeless.

An Ocean in My Bones

The Clotilda Descendants Association:

Our goal is to bring all things Clotilda to light … things infamously, and literally, done in the dark when that illegal ship set sail from Benin on the west coast of Africa with our terrified relatives crammed into overcrowded, filthy cargo holds.

WE will forever tell their stories, uphold their legacy, build the ‘Africatown Museum and Performing Arts Center’ to honor them and others who helped shape the community… and press for accountability of the crime that was Clotilda.

The Clotilda Descendants Association will present the second showing of the short stage highlight of “An Ocean in My Bones” on February 13, 2022. Doors will open at 1:00 show will start at 2:00 panel discussion at 3:00.

This year’s event will feature the stories of slave ship Clotilda and Africatown being brought to life in a short stage highlight titled “An Ocean in My Bones,” developed by playwright and award-winning director Terrence Spivey.

The roughly 45-minute one-act highlight is a precursor to the full-length stage play that will world premiere in Mobile, February 2024.

COVID restrictions will be enforced. Attendees must show proof of vaccination or negative COVID test. Masks required.

Nagy is primarily responsible for the identification, evaluation, and selection of the top NFL prospects to be invited to the game, as well as serving as a liaison to the agent community representing those players. Under Nagy’s leadership, the Senior Bowl team is coming off a year in which it strategically and skillfully pulled off the event despite the extreme challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, something no other pre-draft event accomplished, including the NFL Combine.

In addition to his duties at the Senior Bowl, Nagy has worked as a draft analyst for ESPN, covering both the NFL Combine live from Indianapolis and the NFL Draft live in Nashville.  He also does extensive work across various football media platforms, including regular appearances on NFL Network and NFL Sirius Radio, and he was named one of the “Top 50 NFL Twitter Accounts” by The Athletic in 2020.

Nagy, a native of Traverse City, Mich., graduated from the University of Michigan in 1996 and was honored with a career achievement award from the school in 2019.  He broke into the NFL as an intern for the Green Bay Packers during their Super Bowl XXXI winning season and held various scouting roles over his 18 years in NFL personnel departments, elevating to national scout with the Kansas City Chiefs from 2009-2012. Prior to coming to the Senior Bowl, he spent five years as the southeast area scout for the Seattle Seahawks.  Nagy was a part of six teams that reached the Super Bowl and four Lombardi Trophy Champions (Packers XXXI, New England Patriots XXXVIII and XXXIX, and Seattle Seahawks XLVII).

Nagy and his wife, Lindsay, have two children, son Hayden (16) and daughter Lillian (13) and they have lived in Mobile since 2007.
