What does "Community" look like to you? Is it your neighborhood, favorite sports fans, or fellow churchgoers? Whoever your tribe is and whatever your common interests and values, community is vital to our well-being. Matt brings some of his fellow Cleveland organizers and content creators to share their ideas and experiences with building community. John Skrtic of the Cleveland Public Library has spent 20 years profiling Clevelanders and their stories. Brian Lachman is the force behind The People's Flag of Cleveland, along with his new Foodbank fundraising organization, Homegrown Help. And Kristin Mulcahy, aka KristininCleveland, creates content and organizes events for people of all ages, including KidsinCleveland Yoga. We rarely see more than the polished event photos and videos, or testimonials from the successes along the way. But building true community is messy. It's hard. It's sometimes grueling. And not every villager helps create the village. The more we find ourselves divided by geography, politics, or social media, the harder it becomes to find the courage to allow ourselves to be vulnerable enough to enter into some of these spaces and relationships. For humans, though, we need fellowship, engagement and belonging. It's not about surviving, it's about thriving.
