In this on-location episode of the We’re Good Podcast, host Lee Ann Necessary Brownlee steps inside Horton’s Kids’ podcast studio in Washington DC– as We’re Good returns to its very first guests—and discovers just how far the story has traveled. Executive Director Erica Ahdoot and Chief of Staff Rahaman “Kil” Kilpatrick reflect on the seeds planted during that first podcast —seeds that inspired the powerful documentary Kil and the Kids. Kil shares the emotional reality behind the film, the loss, and the “third option” kids need and HK provides to help stop the cycle of violence.

You’ll also hear how this organization is responding to today’s challenges with a Financial Resilience Fund providing direct emergency cash support and the growing Community Caregiver Collective strengthening parents through connection and the Nurturing Parenting Program. It’s honest, urgent, and deeply hopeful—listen and watch what long-term commitment really sounds and looks like.
