Art and theater is often over looked or underfunded in schools, despite entertainment growing more and more. So it's good that there are programs like South End Stories that teach the arts, and do it in a more unique way! We're talking with one of the program organizers Donte Felder, to talk about things like what SES is, the importants of art, and how they approach teaching art! And if your still curious about South End Stories after listening, check out their website!

We can all agree that street lights are important. It's how we see when we walk and drive, and generally makes us feel safe at night. So what do you do when your community doesn't have enough? Samuel Woldemariam talks with Bahsan Ahmed about the Light Walk Project and its goal to get more lights in the Rainier Beach community so that we all feel a little safer.

The RBAC team is always working on projects and doing what we can for the Rainier Beach community. And one of those projects is owning and renovating a building in Rainier Beach! So listen in while Makayla Miles talks with Amanda Lopez-Castanon, about this new building and the plans for it.
