Episode Narrator: That's when I met Kira. 

Kira: My name is Kira Felsenfeld. I'm a housing organizer at Jane Addams Senior Caucus. 

Episode Narrator: I call her my baby sister, cause Kira's a fireball. That girl is an all consuming fireball.

Episode Narrator 2: It was very late at night because I was often the one person who translated for other people. I was called down. This man, he tried to hang himself. He still had the sheet wrapped around his neck and his face was purple and I could see the markings. And some nights I dream about it.

Episode Narrator 3: I want to [00:01:00] change the perception of Austin because it's a lot of people who's giving up on our communities. This community is going to thrive again. This community is going to be a safe haven for our kids. This community is going to be an up and coming community where people can come in our community and not worry about getting shot And patronize our stores and business come back and we can rebuild our community together

Asiaha Butler: I had a mindset shift. My initial mind was this community is horrible People are shooting outside. They shooting dice. Nobody cares about themselves. I need to leave But when I shifted my mind to be like, wait a minute You're here. You can add value here. Let's see what people are doing. How do you support them?

Then I'm meeting phenomenal people, right? And I'm meeting, I'm hearing these phenomenal narratives and I'm like, wait, these stories are not [00:02:00] told.
