Where to next in the quest for urban equity and inclusion? This episode returns to focus on our journey as an impact research center. In November 2023, the National Initiative on Mixed-Income Communities celebrated our 10th anniversary and kicked off a year of reflection, recommitment, and reimagining. In this episode I am joined by three of our longtime collaborators who are working closely with us to help shape our plans for our next decade. Dr. Alyssa Nickell is a Senior Research Associate with our center based in Chicago, Salin Geevarghese is Principal of the consulting firm SGG Insight based in the DC area, and Frankie Blackburn co-leads the community network-building firm Trusted Space Partners, based in North Carolina. We have an energizing conversation about what we’ve learned from our first decade of research and consulting and what pivots we’d like to make as we head into our second decade.
