We are back from a two-week hiatus with a special interview with Shawn Lassiter. She is a former science teacher and TX06 candidate who leads BRAVE/R Together, a nonprofit focused on transforming communities of color that deal with systemic inequities.

Her team of localized ambassadors and United Way Tarrant County will be hosting the inaugural 76104 Phoenix Festival celebrating the greatness in communities such as Historic Southside, Morningside, and Hillside.

The 76104 Phoenix Festival will be a two-day event that includes a dinner, a morning 5K run, a farmers market, and an evening celebration with local artists.

The event is free to attend, and you can learn more at https://bravertogether.org/phoenix.

This episode also includes three short stories and our wins and losses for the week!
