  • The Senior Crew: ”Juneteenth Conversation with David Charles”
    Episode 4

    On June 17th, 2023, the recently graduated Senior Crew sat down at "Welcome to the Avenue" (107 E. High St) to interview local leaders and community members. This was the final interview of the day, but we wanted to launch it early because David artfully explains how STRIVE came to be and how this podcast was dreamed into being.
