That one episode where we explain gentrification.
This week, after spending a considerable amount of time driving through her old stomping grounds, Adriana decided to bring the podcast back to the research and discuss gentrification. We'll talk history, and the systemic policies were put into place that made communities vulnerable to gentrification. In addition to historical context, Adriana explains the interesting history of gentrification in her hometown, Austin, TX. We then move into discussing common patterns of city investment (and, in turn, disinvestment), and ways to identify, and eventually work to reverse gentrification.
As per usual, Adriana has a lot to say; this week's 'OG Says' segment discusses some of our need to take on personalities that do not align with our authentic selves; we'll talk fake-deep, and the need to be perceived as "deep" in the first place. This episode ends with a reminder that we do not have to be active through every stage of life, and that the importance of stillness as an act of self-reflection, growth, and situational evaluation is just as important as “changing what you can change.” Sorry, #TeamNoSleep. This is yet another L for y’all.
