\u201cLiving in small city like Dayton allows you to be innovative.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

London Coe, the owner of Peace on 5th a \u201ccompassionate commerce\u201d store in Dayton. <\/span><\/p>\n

According to Coe, she sees opportunity in the economic conditions of the greater Dayton area.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe live in a community that isn\u2019t expensive to live here, you can live very well here with a decent amount of money or you can live decent here without a lot of money,\u201d Coe said. <\/span><\/p>\n

Coe said she took advantage of that opportunity in 2011 when she opened Peace on 5th.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

According to Coe, everything sold in her store is cruelty free, eco-friendly and produced without slave labor. Peace on 5th aims to abolish human trafficking by expanding the conversation about human trafficking and partnering with at risk communities. <\/span><\/p>\n

According to Coe, contributing to and investing in your city is what builds it.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is a pleasure when we think about a city like New York or Chicago and I see that a lot of times with younger people where they think that there is so much to do, but there is so much to do because there are people that are there that are building their city in a way that doesn\u2019t happen in Dayton.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Coe believes that choosing to be quiet and failing to be innovative is a lost opportunity. <\/span><\/p>\n

In 2013, Coe participated in a TEDx talk. The title of her talk was \u201cDate Your City.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

In the talk, Coe talked about how she looked for a solution to solve modern-day slavery, which led to her opening Peace on 5th.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to Coe, innovation occurs when you get out and explore your city and when you become a part of your city. <\/span><\/p>\n

Coe, a former Sinclair student, credits Sinclair Community College for introducing the notion of \u201cbeing about community and being in love with it.\u201d\u00a0 <\/span>Coe quotes founder David A. Sinclair, \u201cFind the need and endeavor to meet it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Coe expresses that complaining and couch surfing is counterproductive to innovation. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSitting on your sofa doesn\u2019t help and complaining doesn\u2019t help, no one knows where your sofa is and everyone is sick of your complaining.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

She believes that the city should be about community, because community involvement is what impacts schools and other systems that help fully realize the potential of cities.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMy city needs better schools, better schools don\u2019t come from parents getting involved they come the community getting involved,\u201d she said. <\/span><\/p>\n

Coe believes Dayton has the potential to have a global impact. To her, part of innovation may include being more involved in pressing human rights matters. Coe also desires for the city to be accommodating to refugees.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMy city needs a place where you can go as an African refugee and buy clothes.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

Peace on 5th became Coe\u2019s solution to buying clothes that don\u2019t involve slave labor. Her store is located on Fifth Street in Dayton.<\/span><\/p>\n
