It Starts With Us Podcast

Welcome to the podcast! Baltimore, Maryland is notorious for crime, violence, poverty, etc., and this bad reputation causes a large majority of people to write it off as "dangerous" without any interest or intention of finding solutions to help rectify these issues. In each episode, I will get the chance to interview a Baltimore native/organization or activist working in Baltimore to learn about the issues this city faces, how it affects the people of Baltimore, how the individuals are working towards a solution, and what WE can do to help. I hope you join me each week!
