Closer Look with Rose Scott

Federal cuts hit community violence intervention programs; Mother, 3 daughters graduate together from GSU


Listen Later

Federal funding cuts are impacting community violence intervention (CVI) programs. CJ Jones, the founder of Dream Builders of Atlanta, Chee'Tara Alexander,  the co-founder of H.O.P.E. Hustlers, and Amber Goodwin, founder of the Community Justice Action Fund, discuss how funding cuts are impacting their work and the actions they are now taking.

We continue with WABE’s “Server South” series.  Some high-profile early projects went all-in on solar energy, building enormous solar fields to power their computer processing. But as the industry accelerates and needs more electricity, power companies are falling back on fossil fuels to meet the demand. We air WABE’s Emily Jones’ latest report.

For “Closer Look’s” Class of 2025 graduation series, it’s a family affair. Rose talks with the Lee family. Quila Lee and her daughters—Rakiya Lee, Kamiya Lee, and Kalaya Lee—have each earned either a master’s or a bachelor’s degree and are 2025 graduates of Georgia State University. The Lees talk about their academic journeys, their challenges, and triumphs, and what it means to hit this meaningful milestone as a family.
