21. Kenny Andejeski - Connection To Place
Kenny Andejeski runs why[here]matters, a social enterprise that supports clients in building community to foster social cohesion, belonging and civic health towards the practice of everyday democracy at a national, regional and local scale. He was born and raised in the Midwest, but now resides in Chattanooga, Tennessee, where most of his place-based work is focused on ecosystem & capacity building throughout the Southeast and Appalachia.
In this conversation recorded on November 13, 2023 in Portland, Maine, Kenny shares the challenges he has faced in not knowing much about where his family comes from, and how the stories we tell ourselves about ourselves can make it hard to grow and progress. This short conversation is deeply rooted in the power of having a connection to a place. You can read the transcript of our conversation here.
