Description
How can we shape the place we call home? And how does it shape us? This season, host and poet Dwayne Betts talks to inspiring local leaders who are working to make their homes more connected, resilient, and joyful. We’ll travel across America to meet such leaders, including a high school mariachi teacher in the Rio Grande Valley, a book seller in Salt Lake City, a farmer in upstate New York, and a reverend on the West Side of Chicago. Learn what motivates their dedication to their community, and gain insight into how you can create change in the place you call home, too.
Produced by Magnificent Noise.
