Okay,
well,
we
will
go
ahead
and
get
started
good
evening.
My
name
is
nichelle
wilson
and
I
am
the
neighborhood
training
and
development
program
manager
with
the
city
of
charlotte's
community
engagement
division.
I
want
to
thank
you
all
for
joining
us
this
evening.
We
have
the
pleasure
of
being
joined
by
janine
bryant.
She
will
be
facilitating
tonight's
workshop
entitled
how
to
be
a
bridge
builder
in
your
neighborhood.
A
A
A
She
completed
her
master
of
science
degree
in
leadership
and
management,
while
serving
as
the
vice
president
of
education
at
levine
museum
of
the
new
south.
Ms
brian
is
known
widely
as
a
facilitator
and
community-centered
program
developer,
both
regionally
and
nationally,
in
2015,
as
regional
director
south
for
leadership
for
educational
equity.
She
directly
engaged
with
teachers,
parents
and
community
leaders
to
use
their
voice
directly
influencing
decision
makers
and,
ultimately
changing
the
reality
of
our
education
system.
A
After
launching
her
consultancy
facilitate
movement,
she
serves
as
a
community
engagement,
specialist
and
catalyst
for
building
organizational
capacity.
Her
recent
stint
as
a
guest
columnist
for
the
charlotte
observer
continues
her
work
in
a
social
and
social
impact
for
marginalized
communities.
Her
writing
can
be
seen
in
that
newspaper
and
other
industry.
Specific
contributions,
such
as
the
mass
action
museum
s
site
for
social
action
toolkit
and
for
museums
and
race,
a
recovering
candidate
for
the
charlotte
mecklenburg
school
board.
Janine
can
likely
be
found
at
home
with
her
daughter
and
two
dogs
when
she's
not
traveling.
B
B
Now
you
all
may
be
thinking
about
what
that
means
for
you,
and
this
whole
session
is
really
an
informal
session
for
us
to
talk
about
and
to
learn
some
actual
techniques,
but
to
contextualize
it
with
a
bit
of
history,
because
I
think
oftentimes
in
charlotte
things
might
look
really
shiny
and
new
and
it
sometimes
decontextualizes
a
deeper
longer
history
of
a
neighborhood
or
a
community,
so
we're
gonna
get
started,
and
in
order
to
do
that,
I
just
have
a
few
housekeeping
things.
This
session
has
a
couple
of
steps
to
it.
B
So
this
is
a
high
engagement
session,
so
there
are
about
10
of
us
on
the
phone
who
will
be
engaged
with
this,
because
the
number
is
such
as
it
is.
It
actually
gives
us
a
chance
to
dive
deeply
into
your
stories
and
your
neighborhood
engagement
strategies,
and
so
what
we're
going
to
do
is
do
a
bit
of
setting
the
stage
and
helping
us
get
some
context
and
vocabulary
to
each
other.
B
We
think
this
is
really
really
important
to
do
this,
and
we
know
that
you
all
are
not
from
the
same
neighborhood
and
so
one
of
the
ways
that
we
wanted
to
actually
start.
This
conversation
really
is
to
think
about.
You
know:
what's
your
story
in
charlotte,
were
you
born
in
charlotte
the
number
of
years
you
may
have
lived
in
charlotte?
Could
you
please
drop
that
in
the
chat
for.
A
B
There's
a
chat
feature
over
there
at
the
bottom
of
your
zoom
screen,
usually,
and
if
you
could
just
drop
the
number
of
years
you
have
lived
in
charlotte.
If
you
were
born
here
just
put
born
here,
you
can
even
put
the
number
of
years
if
you,
if
you
dare
but
just
go
ahead
and
populate
the
chat
for
me,
it
should
be
if
you
hover
over
the
bottom
of
your
screen,
you'll
see
a
little
feature
there
all
right.
B
B
Oh,
we
have
41
years,
that
was
john
okay
and
he
moved
to
charlotte
any
more
people
willing
to
tell
us
how
long
you've
been
in
charlotte
so
so
62
years.
Thank
you.
Sophie
hi,
maribel,
29
years,
is
that
so
marilyn
bell
is
just
beating
me.
I
have
been
here
for
20
years
in
in
the
charlotte
area
and
in
that
time
I've
I
started
in
the
davidson
area
and
then
moved
closer
and
closer
to
center
city,
and
then
I
moved
away
so
it
looks
like
we
have
a
really
wide
range.
B
We
got
2
3,
41,
30,
29
62.,
and
I
think
that
is
a
great
snapshot
of
what
it
means
to
be
in
charlotte
right
now,
and
it
also
helps
explain
why
we
might
have
different
ideas
around
what
it
means
to
be
a
bridge
builder
in
our
neighborhoods,
because,
frankly,
we
are
coming
from
from
different
areas.
Geographically,
we
are
coming
from
different
social
economic
status.
A
lot
of
us
have
different
racial
and
ethnic
backgrounds.
B
A
lot
of
us
have
different
language
backgrounds,
we're
coming
from
all
different
kinds
of
spaces,
and
so
in
order
to
connect
with
each
other,
we
got
to
be
pretty
intentional
and
so
often
times
we
think.
Well,
you
know
I'm
here,
but
culturally,
you
have
to
do
some
work.
You
actually
have
to
be
pretty
intentional
to
be
a
bridge
builder,
and
so
thank
you
all
for
doing
that
with
me.
It
gives
me
some
context
for
how
long
you've
been
here
in
the
community,
but
it
also
helps
us
understand.
B
Charlotte
is
actually
made
of
newcomers,
and
sometimes
you
have
people
who
have
been
here
and
they
have
their
deep
roots
in
charlotte
and
it's
the
it's
that
bridge
building
that
happens
between
all
of
those
communities.
That's
really
really
important,
and
so
thank
you
all
for
giving
me
a
little
bit
of
context.
I
appreciate
that.
B
So
what
we're
going
to
do
is
we're
going
to
actually
get
us
to
be
thinking
about
what
does
neighborhood
even
mean
like
when
we
when
we're
talking
about,
we
live
in
a
neighborhood.
What
does
that
even
mean,
and
then
we're
going
to
go
through
our
contextualization
and
do
some
comparisons?
We
can
move
from
history
all
the
way
up
to
the
present
tense
and
then
even
thinking
about
the
future
of
charlotte
in
our
neighborhoods
okay.
B
So
let's
go
to
the
next
slide,
so
let's
set
the
stage
a
little
bit
we're
going
to
use
the
chat.
Again,
I
told
you
all.
This
is
a
high
engagement
session.
You
might
be
used
to
doing
zooms
where
people
just
talk
at
you,
but
in
this
case
we're
going
to
use
the
chat
feature
again
and
this
time
I've
put
the
word
neighborhood
at
the
bottom
of
the
screen.
B
On
the
left
hand,
side-
and
I
really
am
interested
in
what
is
the
first
thing
that
comes
to
mind
when
you
see
the
word
neighborhood,
what
what
are
some
words,
because
we
categorize
neighborhoods
in
lots
of
different
ways,
and
I
want
us
to
think
a
little
bit
more
about
what
is
it?
What
does
it
mean
to
us
personally?
What
what
stories
are
we
carrying
around
that
have
to
do
with
neighbors?
So
just
drop
one
word
in
the
chat
for
how
do
you?
B
How
do
you
categorize
that?
What
word
does
it
make
you
think
of
which
is
free
associated?
Have
you
ever
done
free
association
before
you
know
you
just
kind
of
think
of
things
home,
very
good
people
home
one
mile
radius?
John,
that's
very
specific
interaction!
Community
community,
okay-
and
I
think
these
words
are
really
important,
because
these
are
going
to
help
us
sort
through
how
we
might
be
thinking
about
even
how
we're
interacting
in
our
neighborhoods
so
service
another
one
right.
So
that's
an
interesting
way
of
thinking
about
being
in
neighborhoods.
B
So
if
sophie
is
thinking
about
being
in
service
and
britney's,
thinking
about
interaction
and
kiana
is
thinking
about
being
in
community,
wouldn't
it
be
lovely
if
all
those
things
were
working
and
talking
to
each
other
oftentimes
we're
in
neighborhoods
and
we
come
from
a
different.
Our
backgrounds
might
be
different.
It
might
inform
how
we
actually
think
about
neighbors
and
neighborhoods.
So
I
want
to
share
a
few
words
that
we
have
heard
before
when
we
talked
about
neighborhoods,
so
words
like
community,
even
demographics,
city,
history,
redlining.
B
B
B
B
Do
the
people
in
your
neighborhood
talk
to
each
other?
Do
they
operate
like
a
small
ecosystem
or
a
microcosm
of
the
city?
These
are
all
questions
that
we
want
to
grapple
with
a
little
bit
because
charlotte's
history
is
actually
kind
of
complicated
when
it
comes
to
neighborhoods
and
how
neighborhoods
develop.
So
we
want
to
learn
a
little
bit
more
about
charlotte's
history
and
connection
to
neighborhoods.
So
I
want
to
do
a
little
tiny
history
lesson,
so
some
of
you
may
be
really
familiar
with
the
history
of
charlotte.
B
I
imagine
those
of
us
like
john
who
have
been
here
for
a
long
time
are
who
else
had
been
here
for
quite
a
bit?
Let
me
scroll
back
up.
I
think
it
was
sophie
sophie
sophie
and
john,
I
think,
are
when
the
charlotte
live.
Your
longest
awards
are
born
here
awards,
not
just
a
competition
but
sophie
john.
I
see
you,
and
so
you
may
know
a
lot
actually
about
the
history
of
charlotte.
I
used
to
work
as
mentioned
in
my
bio.
B
I
used
to
work
at
the
levine
museum
of
the
new
south
and
one
of
the
reasons
why
I
loved
working
at
that
museum
is
because
I
was
actually
interacting
with
history
and
I
realized
very
quickly
on
once.
I
started
working
there
as
an
educator
that
this
history
is
not
it's
not
distant.
Past
we're
not
talking
prehistoric
history
for
charlotte
chocolate
has
been
really
really
heavily
influenced
over
the
last
100
150
years.
B
It's
really
shaped
the
city
that
it
became
so
charlotte
is
not
a
a
city
that
shies
away
from
progress
or
a
city
that
discourages
movement,
and
so
I
think
it's
important
to
contextualize
that,
because
a
lot
of
times
we
we
might
be
talking
about
it
from
our
own
vantage
point.
So
if
we've
only
lived
here
for
two
or
three
years,
sometimes
it's
hard
to
get
the
context
for
some
of
the
things
we
see
happening
around
us.
B
So
in
the
1930s
charlotte
was
a
city
that
actually
really
gave
itself
some
some
big
props
for
being
a
progressive
boom
city
and
when
the
great
depression
hit
charlotte
didn't
quite
falter
in
the
way
in
some
of
the
other,
cities
have
and
it
continued
to
grow.
And
one
of
the
reasons
why
I
continued
to
grow
is
because
it
was
a
city
that
was
electrified.
B
B
In
fact,
the
the
city
really
had
a
number
of
issues
around
displacement
in
the
1930s
and
40s
and
50s,
particularly
as
the
city
kept
expanding.
So
if
you
use
brookshire
highway
or
brookshire,
freeway
or
brookshire,
depending
on
how
long
you
live
in
charlotte,
you'll
notice,
certain
things
like,
for
instance,
if
you
go
on
highway
277
you
get
to
the
to
the
portion
where
it
looks
like
you're
going
up
to
mount
holly
huntersville.
B
What
will
happen
is
if
you
were
to
stop
and
turn
just
as
you're
getting
into
the
place
where
you
can
tell
you're
entering
to
a
residential
area
off
the
highway.
You'll
notice
that
the
street
names
on
one
side
of
the
highway
match
the
street
names
on
the
other
side
of
highway,
and
there
are
approximately
eight
lanes
of
traffic
separating
those
streets.
There
was
once
a
neighborhood
there,
and
so
things
like
that,
the
highway
was
was
placed
in
there
and
displaced
a
number
of
people.
B
B
Those
neighborhoods
were
disrupted
in
many
cases,
and
so
it's
important
for
us
to
think
about
that
and
contextualize
that,
particularly
if
you
live
in
an
older
neighborhood,
so
something
else
to
think
about
and
understand
for
this
context,
is
you
see
just
a
few
things
around
our
integration
and,
for
example,
like
dorothy
counts,
who
is
still
alive?
I
don't
know
if
y'all
know,
dorothy
count
sky
again,
she's
still
alive.
B
Her
image
was
shared
across
the
country,
as
she
was
one
of
the
first
of
four
black
students
who
helped
integrate
the
schools
in
charlotte,
as
was
mandated
brown
by
brown
versus
board
of
education.
Charlotte
was
one
of
the
cities
that
attempted
to
integrate.
Schools
and
dorothy
counts
was
one
of
four
students
who
went
to
what
is
now
a
neighborhood.
That
is
that
she
went
to
the
school
that
is
now
irwin
elementary
school.
B
Historically,
though,
that
was
harding,
and
so
you
may
be
walking
in
a
place
that
has
a
tremendous
amount
of
history
where
she
walked
is
a
place.
That
is,
I
think,
they've
marked
it
by
a
historic
bench
and
historic
marker,
but
that
picture
made
national
headlines
and
actually
changed
some
of
the
conversation
around
what
it
meant
to
actually
integrate.
B
That's
right
around.
In
that
same
neighborhood
was
where
a
number
of
prominent
black
leaders
lived
during
the
1965
civil
rights
movements.
What
happened
is
that
some
of
those
houses
were
actually
bombed
and
so
particularly
the
houses
of
civil
rights
activists.
If
you
were
to
go
through
that
neighborhood
now,
you
could
actually
still
see
some
parts
of
those
houses
are
missing
where
the
bombs
blew
parts
chunks
of
the
house
off.
B
So
when
I
say
that
this
history
is
a
living
history,
it's
a
very
active
history.
Dorothy
count,
scotland
is
still
alive.
She
is
very
active
she's,
a
social
worker
and
an
advocate
for
education.
You
can
talk
to
her.
You
can
ride
through
the
neighborhoods
and
see
where
chunks
of
the
houses
are
missing.
So
some
of
the
deeper
history
for
charlotte
is
sometimes
excluded
from
our
conversation
and
can
really
help
us
contextualize.
B
You
know
some
conflict
or
context
for
how
we
live
together
and
how
to
build
bridges.
The
last
thing
I
do
want
to
point
out
is
in
1971
the
supreme
court
case
for
swan
vs
cms.
Many
of
you
may
be
familiar
with
this
case,
particularly
if
you
have
put
children
in
school
in
the
public
school
system,
but
during
that
time,
from
the
late
60s
to
the
early
70s,
there
were
a
number
of
communities
that
tried
to
purchase
large
swaths
of
land.
So
they
could
build
private
schools.
B
They
did
this
and
they
often
are
referred
to
as
white
flight
schools,
and
that
is
because
in
swan
versus
cms
darius
swan
and
his
wife
were
professors.
He
was
a
professor
at
johnson
c
smith.
He
would
go
on
to
try
to
enroll
his
student,
his
child,
into
a
local
school
elementary
school
and
they
were
told
that
he
could
not
enroll
and
he
knew
that
brown
v
board
existed,
and
so
he
continued
to
fight
that
case
until
his
child
was
able
to
get
placement.
B
That
placement
helped
shine
a
really
bright
light
on
some
of
the
loopholes
in
brown
v
board
and
that
would
go
on
to
help
eliminate
the
idea
that
you
could
simply
go
to
the
school.
That
was
right,
close
to
your
neighborhood
sound
familiar
and
it
shine
a
really
bright
light
on
how
they
might
do
that.
So
this
is
when
charlotte
started
a
bussing
program.
B
This
bussing
program
was
extensive
and
it
what
it
did
was
create
demographic
mixing
along
racial
lines
so
that
there
were
bus
routes
that
would
deliberately
create
integrated,
integrated
through
policy
schools.
I'm
giving
quote
air
quotes
to
integration,
because
that
integration
lasted
only
for
a
short
amount
of
time
and
it
was
reversed
in
the
early
2000s
as
a
result
of
another
supreme
court
case
capicheon.
B
So
when
we
think
about
when
you
hear
people
use
words
like
bussing
or
segregation
about
your
neighborhood,
you
have
to
know
that
some
people
have
lived
in
charlotte
for
a
really
long
time
and
their
history.
If
they
experienced
it,
might
actually
be
quite
contested,
it
might
be,
it
might
have
some
conflict
in
it
and
it
may
be
stories
that
were
sometimes
traumatic,
even
for
people.
If
your
house
was
bombed,
then
that's
and
that's
obviously
really
traumatic.
If
you
were
displaced
that
might
be
really
traumatic.
B
Okay,
so
you
may
have
seen
something
like
this
before
this
is
the
quality
of
life
indicator?
It's
a
dashboard
that
anybody
can
have
access
to
anybody,
and
anybody
in
the
country
has
access
to
the
web
can
have
access
to
this
and
it's
actually
mecklenburg.
This
is
a
map
of
mecklenburg,
county
and
a
couple
of
surrounding
areas,
but
the
places
that
you
see
shaded
in
are
representative
of
the
population
of
mecklenburg
county
and
so
just
for
a
little
context.
This
map
is
a
dot
map
and
anytime,
you
see
a
saturated
area.
B
That
means
more
people
are
living
there
together,
because
each
one
dot
represents
10
people,
and
so
you
can
see
just
by
looking
at
this
map,
you
may
be
able
to
start
thinking.
Oh,
where
do
I
live,
so
I
find
it
easiest
to
look
for
the
highways,
and
so
you
see
highway
77
cutting
down
through
mecklenburg
and
a
little
bit
off
to
what
is
your
left
if
you're?
Looking
at
the
map,
you
see
277,
which
is
just
makes
a
small
loop,
and
then
you
see
85
cutting
across
the
map.
B
We
also
see
highway,
29
and
74.
If
you
were
trying
to
go
to
the
beach,
please
don't
go
to
myrtle
beach
just
for
context,
because,
obviously
so,
if
you
were
traveling,
if
you
were
traveling
through
mecklenburg
county
and
you
were
trying
to
find
your
neighborhood,
you
might
be
able
to
find
kind
of
where
you
fit
in
using
these
maps.
B
B
But
I
want
to
walk
us
through
some
things.
These
these
screenshots
are
from
2016
and
I
caught
them
in
2016,
but
actually
I
went
and
double
checked
and
they
look
about
the
same
and
you're
welcome
to
look
at
these
now
so
anytime,
you
see
a
saturated
area.
That
means
that,
whatever
you
see
the
words
across
the
top,
that
means
that
that
area
is
experiencing
more
of
whatever
is
across
the
top.
So
for
instance,
this
first
slide.
B
This
first
image
is
residential
foreclosures,
and
so
you,
when
you
see
a
saturated
area
that
has
more
color,
that
means
there
are
more
residential,
foreclosures,
okay
and
so
for
the
first
slide.
If
you,
if
you've
kind
of
figured
out
where
your
neighborhood
is
in
mecklenburg
county,
think
again
about
where
your
neighborhood
is
situated
and
then
think
about
the
residential
foreclosures,
that
you
might
see
happening
in
your
community
or
around
where
you're
at
and
let
me
actually
I'll,
ask
jenna
to
drop
the
link
for
the
quality
of
life.
B
You
can
actually
the
quality
of
life
indicator.
I
see
in
the
chat
that
you
all
are
asking
some
some
questions
around
how
to
find
these
maps.
You
actually
have
access
to
them.
You
can
we'll
put
the
link
in
there,
so
you
can
have
access
to
them,
but
you
actually
have
access
to
them
all
the
time
you
can
and
it
has
all
kinds
of
information.
There's
like
35
different
data
points.
You
can
look
at
how
how.
B
Recycle,
how
many
people
use
the
parks
there's
all
kind
of
information
you
can
look
at
the
quality
of
life
indicator,
I've
selected
about
four
or
five
different
items
for
us
to
look
at,
because
I
think
it's
really
important
for
us
to
contextualize
how
our
neighborhoods
are
operating
now,
so
we
looked
at
historically,
we
talked
a
little
bit
about
redlining,
but
I
wanted
to
think
about
what's
happening
now.
So
look
at
the
food
and
nutrition
services
so
again
the
saturation
just
as
a
reminder.
B
These
are
people
who
are
utilizing
more
food
and
nutrition
services,
so
they
supplement
their
own
ability
to
to
purchase
groceries.
That's
what
food
and
nutrition
services
are.
So
when
you
see
saturation
in
this
particular
image,
you'll
notice
that
there
seems
to
be
a
particular
kind
of
shape
that
is
replicated
around
who
gets
access,
who
needs
to
access
food
and
nutrition
services?
B
B
For
these
snapshots,
that
means
that
that
has
a
higher
percentage
household
income,
and
so
you
see
here
that
the
higher
percentages
kind
of
I
see
them
kind
of
as
anchors
at
the
north
and
the
south
end
of
charlotte,
and
so
those
are
higher
percentages
of
household
income
and
your
neighborhood
may
be
in
one
of
these
particular
areas.
Let's
take
a
look
at
water
consumption.
This
is
also
a
really
interesting
one.
B
So
I
look
at
this
test
proficiency
and
so
test
proficiency
in
charlotte
mecklenburg
is
is
matched
by
a
three
four
or
five
on
the
end-of-year
test,
and
so
those
who
scored
a
three
four
five
proving
that
they
are
proficient
for
their
grade
level.
Those
are
the
saturated
areas,
so
the
children
who
are
testing
well
live
in
the
saturated
areas.
B
I
think
that
they
use
for
this
marker
everybody's
taking
the
test,
but
we
see
level
proficiency
is
not
necessarily
represented
in
that
in
that
shape,
that's
there
and
towards
the
center
of
the
county,
and
then
last
I
like
to
use
the
race
and
ethnicity
screenshot
to
help
demonstrate.
Where
do
we
see
concentrations
of
people?
You
see
this
one
is
a
slightly
older
screenshot.
This
is
still
stands
true
today,
but
it's
quite
a
bit
more
mixed.
I
usually
when
I'm
doing
another
session.
B
B
If
we
lived
in
a
different
county
in
north
carolina,
we
would
need
to,
but
there
are
still
eight
different
indigenous
communities
in
indigenous
peoples
in
north
carolina
still
active,
so
just
make
sure
that
we
contextualize
that,
but
this
last
one
I
think,
is
really
important,
because
the
racing
ethnicity
slot
also
helps
us
kind
of
map
against
what
we've
seen
previously,
and
so
I
think
I
think
it's
important
for
us.
Oh
yes,
thank
you,
brittany.
B
I
appreciate
that
yes,
and
so
there
are
more
accurate,
more
recent
up
to
date,
I've
been
using
these
same
slides.
Obviously,
for
a
number
of
years
I
found
that
they
look
very
much
the
same
in
terms
of
mapping
around
where
we
see
highest
need
and
where
we
overlay
the
maps.
I
think
it's
really
important
for
us
to
think
about
how
to
overlay
the
maps,
particularly
for
social
and
economic
indicators.
B
B
Oh
somebody's
writing
a
lot
of
stuff.
Yes,
so,
yes,
you've,
probably
heard
of
all
of
these
social
and
economic
mobility
studies
that
have
happened,
the
leading
one
opportunity
task
force.
All
of
these
things
are
related
to
these
very
not
related
to
the
map,
but
to
the
experiences
of
people
in
charlotte
mecklenburg,
and
so
the
map
just
helps
us
visualize
what's
actually
happening,
but
these
are.
This
is
what's
happening
to
real
people
in
our
communities
and
I
think
it's
very
important
for
us
to
have
context
for
when
we
are
talking
about
building
bridges.
B
B
B
B
B
I
think
we
have.
How
does
it
relate
to
your
neighborhood
experience?
I
want
you
to
think
about
that.
Is
there
any
historical
context
for
your
neighborhood
experience?
When
you
look
at
the
quality
of
life
indicators,
you
say:
oh
yes,
I
definitely
have
experienced
that
firsthand
and
it
might
not
just
be
the
ones
that
I
showed
it
might
be.
Some
other
things
that
you're
thinking
about.
B
And
then
I
want
you
to
think
about.
Have
you
ever
experienced
any
obstacles
to
getting
know
your
neighbors
okay?
So
I'm
gonna
give
you
just
a
second
to
think
about
those
things,
and
I
am
going
to
look
at
the
participant
list
and
what
I
would
love
to
do
is.
I
would
actually
like
to
promote
someone
to
share
their
story,
and
so,
if
you
are
participating
with
us
and
you're
willing
to
share
your
story,
if
you
would,
please
put
it
in
the
chat
that
you
were
willing
to
share
something
that
came
up
for
you.
B
B
B
Could
you
indicate
that
in
the
chat,
maribel
yay,
okay,
so
we're
going
to
hear
from
maribel
and
we're
going
to
hear
from
stephanie
bell
since
you
got
in
here?
First,
I'm
actually
going
to
allow
you
to
talk,
and
so
what's
going
to
happen
is
you'll
you'll
get
the
your
mic
will
be
lit
up
just
make
sure
that
you
have
unmuted
and
then
you're
going
to
share
your
story
in
about
60
to
90
seconds
for
us,
okay,
okay,
there
you
go
maribel.
D
D
Every
time
I
go
there.
I
just
cannot
believe
that
I
once
lived
here.
I
remember
the
the
I
guess
the
neighborhood
experience
for
me
is
when
we
first
purchased
our
first
home,
which
it
was
near.
I
can't
remember
the
name
of
the
neighborhood,
but
it
was
near
here,
is
boulevard
and
adamora
road.
Lately
I
can't
remember
the
name
of
the
neighborhood
at
this
moment.
B
D
I
wasn't
the
very
first
time
I
met
my
neighbor.
I
immediately
tried
to
say
hello
and
I
felt
right
away
that
I
wasn't
welcome
at
that
time.
I
guess
our
hispanic
community
is
now
big
and
everybody
can
tell
that
that
is
a
latin
community
here
for
sure.
But
back
then
I
mean
it
was
tough.
People
were
afraid
of.
I
guess
who
we
were
and
you
know,
but
we
lived
there
for
like
seven
years
and
ended
up
having
a
a
nice.
D
B
Thank
you.
That
is
a
great
story.
Thank
you.
So
much
if
you
happen
to
remember
the
name
of
your
neighborhood
feel
free
to
put
it
in
the
chat,
but
I
thank
you
so
much
for
sharing
your
story
because
you
shared
kind
of
a
roller
coaster
for
us
right,
like
the
happiness
of
getting
your
first
home
and
feeling
like
that.
B
E
E
He
was
just
kind
of
strange
and
I
don't
know,
but
what
turned
out
to
be
a
small
concern
of
mine
was
like
not
a
big
deal
at
all,
because
all
the
people
we've
encountered
here
have
been
great.
We
actually
are
really
close
to
our
neighbors
to
the
left,
who
have
invited
us
over
many
times.
They
come
and
check
on
our
cats
often-
and
this
has
been
an
incredibly
different
experience
for
me-
I've
never
had
that
kind
of
relationship
with
neighbors
that
lived
around
me
before
you
know.
E
I
guess
maybe
because
I
was
always
renting-
I
don't
know-
I
never
made
the
effort
to
reach
out
and
also
being
on
the
neighborhood
association
board.
That's
connected
me
with
a
lot
of
people,
so
it's
nice
to
actually
be
walking
down
the
street
of
our
neighborhood
and
running
into
people.
I
know
and
being
able
to
say,
hi
and
just
feeling
like
a
sense
of
belonging
has
been
really
nice.
So
it's
not
a
very
specific
memory,
but
just
like
the
general
sense
of
neighborhood,
I
never
really
quite
had
until
I
moved
to
this
neighborhood.
B
B
B
B
B
Okay,
carla
must
have
already
started
brushing
t,
oh
carla,
we'll
miss
you.
Thank
you
for
joining
us,
so
those
two
stories
that
maribel
and
stephanie
were
brave
enough
to
share.
Thank
you
so
much
for
a
meeting
and
being
willing
to
do
that.
I
think
help
us
understand
that
bridge.
Building
in
neighborhoods
is
not
always
easy.
B
I
think
it's
really
important
to
think
about.
Okay,
how?
How
are
my
experience?
How
are
my
experience
also
a
part
of
the
memory
of
this
community
in
this
space
and
what
other
other
older
histories
that
may
be
in
the
ground
around
my
neighborhood?
I
don't
necessarily
know
how
can
I
get
to
know
those
stories
so
that
I
can
I
can
be
a
neighbor
that
is
engaged
and
informed.
Does
anybody
else
want
to
share
any
stories
or
a
meet
and
share
their
experience
or
memory?
B
C
C
It
was
the
members
there
looked
like
my
family
white
since
retiring
the
greatest
boon.
To
me.
As
far
as
getting
to
know
the
neighborhood
is
being
able
to
tutor
in
the
neighborhood
elementary
school
that
way
getting
to
know
the
families,
not
just
on
our
few
streets,
but
earlier
I
said
what
a
neighborhood
is
a
mile
radius
and
that's
kind.
E
B
So
I
think
those
three
stories
are
actually
really
helpful
because
for
john's
example,
when
you
think
about
the
context
of
a
neighborhood
and
he
he
did
say
a
one-mile
radius,
but
a
lot
can
happen
in
a
one-mile
radius
in
charlotte
and
so
actually
john.
I
really
love
the
phrase
that
you
could
see
your
neighbors.
You
could
see
them,
but
that
didn't
mean
that
you
knew
them
and
I
think
that's
really
true
for
a
lot
of
how
we
experience
charlotte
neighborhoods.
D
B
B
So
in
john's
case
he
was
very
intentional
about
tutoring
at
a
local
school
and
then
has
an
opportunity
to
know
and
interact
with
the
neighbors
and
their
families,
and
so
this
idea
of
being
a
bridge
builder
in
your
communities
has
a
lot
to
do
with
how
you
first
experience
your
community,
your
neighborhood,
and
so
it
may
be
a
really
positive
experience
where
someone
waves
and
brings
you
brings
you
something
very
very
welcoming.
It
may
be
something
that
is
memorable,
but
not
necessarily
a
positive
way.
You
may
feel
unwelcome.
B
You
might
even
feel
that
your
neighbors
are
fearful
of
you
and
that
can
leave
a
lasting
imprint
on
you
and
how
you
choose
to
interact
and
connect
with
your
neighbors.
So,
let's
be,
let's
talk
a
little
bit
and
kind
of
drill
down
to
like
what
do
we
do,
since
we
heard
all
these
stories
and
these
experiences,
what
are
we
supposed
to
do
as
a
result.
B
So
there's
actually
techniques
that
are
around
for
how
to
be
a
bridge
builder
and
john
and
stephanie
and
maribel
actually
have
done,
have
tried
these
techniques
before,
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
outline
them
all
kind
of
here
together.
But
I
know
this
might
seem
really
basic,
but
you
all.
We
really
gotta
learn
your
neighbors
names
because,
as
I
think
it
was
stephanie
who
indicated
she
said
in
her
previous
experiences
and
places
that
she's
lived,
she
didn't
even
have
to
interact
with
the
neighbors
in
charlotte.
B
We
we
are,
we
do
have
a
culture
we
are
in
the
south
and
knowing
your
neighbors
names
can
be
an
important
step
in
building
the
kinds
of
relationships
that
you
want
as
a
bridge
builder,
so
I'll
keep
using
the
idea
that
we're
going
to
build
bridges
and
bridges
are
theoretically
what
connects
one
thing
to
another
thing,
so
we're
trying
to
be
intentional
about
building
bridges
and
so
learning
your
neighbors
names.
And
here
you
see
you
put
a
little
note
around
sharing
emails.
B
Some
people
are
connected
through
facebook
groups,
but
you
may
not
be
on
facebook,
but
sharing
emails
or
sharing
phone
numbers.
Just
a
little
post-it
note
that
has
your
name
and
number
on
there:
it's
sometimes
a
really
good
way,
a
really
easy
way
to
connect
with
your
neighbors.
So
in
case
something
does
happen,
they
can
easily
call
you
up
and
they
know
who
you
are.
B
The
next
one
says
strike
up
that
first
conversation
find
common
ground,
so
we
actually
put
some
actual
examples
of
things
you
might
be
able
to
do,
because
I
know
some
people
say
how
am
I
supposed
to
strike
up
a
conversation?
I
don't
know
what
to
say
offering
a
compliment
always
works
so,
whether
it's
their
lawn
decor
or
they
did
a
great
job
landscaping.
B
B
This
one
says
the
next
one
says:
ask
for
and
offer
help
so
number
three
is
ask
for
and
offer
help
you'd
be
surprised
how
often
neighbors
have
to
come
together
to
offer
help.
So
if
you
lived
in
the
plaza
midwood
area,
there
was
also
in
the
myers
park
area
and
in
my
area
where
I
live
in
university
trees
are
always
coming
down.
B
So
in
some
of
these
neighborhoods
just
to
get
out
of
the
neighborhood
sometimes
safely,
neighbors
have
to
actually
come
together
and
do
do
some
help
with
sawing
the
law
just
to
do.
The
basic
things
like
get
in
and
out
of
the
neighborhood
safely
also
charlotte
is
notorious
for
having
ice
black
ice,
and
so
it's
really
quite
helpful
to
have
a
neighbor
that
is
willing
to
go
out
and
shovel
are
willing
to
to
share
maribel.
I
see
your
hand
raised.
D
Yes,
now
that
you
were
mentioning
that,
I
remember
that
neighbor,
that
kind
of
like
unwelcoming
neighbor,
you
know
how
we
earn
him.
We
we
move
out
of
the
house
and
we
rent
the
house
to
my
sister,
so
my
sister
lived
there
for
a
couple
of
years
and
there
when
we
had
a
big
storm
2003,
I
believe
it
was
2002.
D
He
had
a
huge
tree
on
the
back
of
his
house
and
he
just
I
mean
he
just
completely
got
destroyed
fall
down.
So
my
brother-in-law
didn't
even
ask
him
because
he
didn't.
He
didn't
speak
english,
but
he
just
went
there
to
help
that
neighbor
and
he
he
quietly
started.
You
know
he
broke
his
soul
and
they
were.
He
was
helping.
He
didn't
even
offer
me.
He
just
went
and
started
helping
him.
Then
they
did
the
same
thing.
D
B
Yes,
thank
you
so
much
for
sharing
that,
and
that's
one
of
the
reasons
why
we
added
that
to
this
slide
is
because
a
lot
of
times
we
wait
until
we
are
in
real
need
before
we
reach
out.
This
is
one
of
the
ways
to
be
proactive,
but
you
know
sometimes
even
asking
for
really
simple
things.
You
know
we.
If
you
live
here
long
enough,
you
might
hear
people
saying
well.
B
I
asked
for
some
sugar
from
the
neighbor
or
I
asked
to
borrow
the
shovel,
sometimes
really
even
simple
things
like
that:
help
build
the
initial
relationship
so
that
people
feel
more
kindly
and
connected
if
you're,
an
introvert
like
me
that
can
feel
really
really
daunting.
So
I
went
ahead
as
soon
as
I
moved
into
my
neighborhood.
I
went
ahead
and
I
wrote
out
my
post-it
notes
with
my
name
and
I
stuck
it
on
the
door
before
I
ever
not
to
ring
the
doorbell
and
then
I
said
I
rang
the
doorbell.
B
Then
I
stepped
back,
and
I
was
like
hey
I'm
your
neighbor,
and
now
you
have
my
my
phone
number
in
case
anything
ever
happens,
and
that
way
I
could
just
run
away
because
I'm
very
introverted-
and
so
I
knew
that
like
introducing
myself,
might
give
me
a
little
anxiety.
So
I
kind
of
like
took
the
the
main
work
out
of
it.
I
just
put
my
post-it
note
up
there
and
they
could
save
it
in
case
they
need
it
and
then
my
neighbor
used
it
later.
B
Actually,
when
part
of
my
tree
fell
down,
so
I
think
I'm
using
the
example
of
trees
falling
down,
because
charlotte
has
one
of
the
most
tree
covers
of
any
city.
I
don't
know
if
y'all
know
that
and
because
of
that
there
are
always
going
to
be
trees
falling
down,
and
so,
if
you
live
in
a
neighborhood,
particularly
that
has
a
lot
of
old
and
beautiful
trees,
they
are
probably
going.
A
B
Down
it's
okay,
especially
if
you
have
good
neighbor
connections
who
are
willing
to
help
you
like
in
maryvale's
case
what
her
brother-in-law
was
willing
to
do
without
even
having
the
linguistic
bridge.
He
went
ahead
and
went
ahead
and
helped,
so
the
other
one
here
is
give
what
you
have.
I
think
that's
also
really
important
and
I
found
it
in
the
quarantine.
B
Thank
you,
anita,
and
I
I've
also
noticed
that
people,
even
during
power
outage
she
said
power,
outages
and
east
charlotte-
definitely
bring
people
together.
I
know
that
people
will
all
jump
on
facebook
to
tell
other
people
that
they
have
a
power
outage
and
I
always
think
I
hope
they're
not
using
up
all
their
power
on
their
phone
to
to
check
in
on
facebook,
but
giving
what
you
have.
B
I've
noticed
during
quarantine
that
people
were
incredibly
generous
with
their
plants,
and
so
there
were
lots
of
people
sharing
plants
and
sharing
sharing
bread.
The
starter
dough
for
sourdough
people
have
been
sharing
this
all
over
charlotte.
I
don't
know
if
you
have
neighbors
that
do
this
as
well.
They'll,
give
you
a
little
starter,
so
you
can
get
started
with
your
sourdough
and
and
make
bread
and
then
the
last
one
we're
doing
quarantine.
B
So
these
I'm
contextualizing
all
these
during
quarantine,
but
it
says:
host
a
gathering
or
block
party
post
and
I
put
on
their
post
quarantine
because
we
don't
want
you
to
do
anything
that
would
violate
social
distancing
or
perhaps
expose
your
family
or
friends
to
to
the
virus.
But
what
we
do
want
you
to
do
is
to
think
about
and
be
purposeful
in
planning
ways
to
connect
with
each
other
and
so
hosting
a
event.
B
B
B
So
now
that
you
all
have
shared
your
stories
and
you're
thinking
about
what
it
means
for
you
to
be
a
neighborhood
bridge
builder,
what's
your
plan
of
action?
What
are
you
going
to
take
away
from
this?
Did
it
spark
you
to
think
about
something
that
you
can
do
and
if
so,
could
you
please
drop
that
in
the
chat
for
me.
B
We
know
that
anita
is
going
to
share
on
social
media
next
power
outage,
because
that
looks
like
something
that
she
already
does,
but
if
you
have
any
new
ideas
that
you
were
sparked
to
think
about,
even
from
the
sharing
from
john
stephanie
or
maribel,
are
there
things
that
you're
thinking?
I
could
do
this
like?
This
is
something
I
could
do
well
stephanie
you're
already
halfway.
There
you've
already
shared,
but
I
do
want
us
to
start
thinking
about
something
really
intentional.
B
So,
for
example,
in
stephanie's
case
she
was
very
specific
around
her
left
and
her
right
neighbors.
But
you
might
say:
oh,
I
know
my
right
neighbor
really.
Well,
I
don't
know
my
left
neighbor,
so
I'm
going
to
use
the
post-it
note
strategy
and
just
go
ahead
and
put
that
you
know
if
you're
like
me,
you're
also
going
to
take
the
clorox
wipe
over
there
and
wipe
the
door
and
then
you're
going
to
put
your
post-it
note,
but
that's
a
good
way.
You
can
still
do
it
during
quarantine.
B
You
don't
have
to
necessarily
shy
away
from
doing
it
during
quarantine.
Just
gotta
be
really
quick
jenna,
who
you
see
there
in
the
chat
works
with
me
and
she's
added
a
couple
of
things
that
you
can
some
resources
you
can
use
going
forward,
because
one
of
your
things
that
you
might
do
as
a
bridge
builder
is
to
learn
more
about
your
neighborhood.
B
I
see
brittany's
talking
about
using
the
nextdoor
app,
and
so,
if
you,
if
you're
unfamiliar
with
nextdoor,
it's
an
app
that
is
used,
usually
as
neighborhood
based
and
so
some
people
have
a
really
tremendous
positive
experience
with
next
door.
Some
people
have
very
negative
experiences,
so
I
would
use
that
when
at
your
own
discretion,
because
it
is
a
really
useful
tool
to
find
your
neighborhood
and
to
connect
with
people,
I
know
people
who
share
babysitters
or
they
can
they
can
pass
on.
B
You
gently
use
toys
or
provide
for
a
neighbor
in
need
if
something
happens
to
their
house
and
so
britney's
example
is
great.
She
thinks
about
you
running
errands
for
people,
so
if
you
have
an
elderly
neighbor
that
needs
you
to
run
and
get
some
groceries
for
them.
That
might
be
incredibly
helpful.
So
those
are
great
ideas.
Anybody
else
want
to
share
one
in
and
populate
how
they're
going
to
be
a
bridge
builder
after
this.
After
this
call.
B
B
They
during
quarantine
started
a
food
truck
reach
out
to
our
outreach
and
they
use
the
food
truck
outside
as
they
put
it
in
a
central
location
in
the
neighborhood
and
that's
one
of
the
ways
that
they
interact
with
each
other,
but
a
diversity,
inclusion
club
might
help
you
understand
the
racial
and
ethnic
or
even
social.
Economic
are
all
the
identities
in
which
your
neighbors
may
show
up
and
ways
to
get
to
know
them
better.
I
love
that
idea.
Thank
you,
anita.
B
Oh
yes,
britney
and
shout
out
to
peggy
so
that
we
can
get
to
know
each
other
swap
content
information.
I
think
it's
really
important,
even
if
it's
just
a
simple
making
sure
they
have
your
number.
So
yes,
you
are,
we
are
running
up
on
the
end
of
time.
I
want
to
say
thank
you
to
everyone.
Who's
participated
as
you
can
see.
I
am
a
very
high
engagement
facilitator.
B
So
that
means
that
you
have
to
pay
attention
to
the
slides
and
you
have
to
pay
attention
to
the
questions,
but
I'm
so
grateful
that
you
all
were
so
engaged
with
us
tonight
and
you
were
able
to
participate
and
have
a
great
time
learning
how
to
be
a
neighborhood
bridge
builder,
and
this
is
the
graphic
demonstrates
it
takes
all
of
us
to
build
the
bridges
you
got
to
be
intentional.
You
have
to
be
purposeful
and
you
have
to
be
committed.
B
Neighborhoods
can
be
a
place
of
community
and
home
and
belonging,
but
you
have
to
work
at
it.
It's
something
that
we
all
have
to
work
at,
and
so
I
appreciate
each
and
every
one
of
you
for
being
on
this
call
today.
Thank
you
so
much
for
your
great
insight,
and
some
of
you
may
be
interested
in
joining
for
the
next
call
or
maybe
want
more
content.
Information.
If
you

B
You
can
learn
more
about
my
work
at
facilitatemovement.com
and
you
can
sign
up
for
the
next
session
if
you
would
like,
where
we
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
dealing
with
conflict.
Maribel's
story
is
not
unique,
and
so
as
we're
learning
more
about
our
neighbors
and
learning
more
about
our
neighborhoods
the
next
time.
The
next
thing
we
have
to
do
is
deal
with
any
conflict
that
arises.
So
that's
what
we'll
be
talking
about
how
to
have
a
good
gathering
in
our
next
time.
So
without
further
ado.
