City’s ‘Shared Prosperity’ podcast tackles issues of escaping poverty in Kalamazoo
“‘Poverty is a complex adaptive system, but we often oversimplify the causes and potential solutions to truly construct family wellbeing and achieve systemic change,’ said Kevin Ford, coordinator of Shared Prosperity Kalamazoo. ‘We’re looking to raise awareness on the many elements that make up this work and elevate the conversation within our community through this popular communications channel.’ […] ‘My hope for this podcast is to build trust with our listeners, many of whom are our city residents,’ Daacon said. ‘Our intention is to offer a platform for leaders in our community to discuss difficult systemic issues at a table together in person. I believe this is our work.'”
