What does building community look like through the eyes of the next generation?

In this episode, we sit down with Lexington High School senior Katya Prykhodko, who first caught our attention at a Kaleidoscope event when she asked a bold question about connection in a post-COVID world. Katya shares her perspective on stepping away from social media, finding authentic connection, and what it means to create a “village” for Gen Z in Mansfield and beyond.

From reimagining downtown Mansfield to learning the language of communication, Katya reminds us that community is built through small acts of curiosity, humility, and courage.

If you're new here, this is a place for everyone to laugh, learn, heal and build. Not alone. Not perfectly. But arm in arm, heart to heart. Because we were never meant to do this alone. We are always Better Together. 

Let's Connect!
