Julia recounts the fun but also some of the challenges that include lightning striking their 75' sail mast.  Trying to decide the name of their boat was so frustrating until Julia said of the process "This is madness!' which became the moniker (Madness) of their sailboat! This episode concludes with a former state legislator who has lived most of his life in Baton Rouge, LA.   After being displaced by Hurricane Katrina, Raymond A. Jetson launched “MetroMorphosis” challenging perceptions about Black and brown people who live in inner-city communities, and the narrative about those very communities.  Foundational to this work is Raymond's fervent belief that inner-city neighborhoods are teeming with assets and resources that can be activated or repurposed.  Including co-creating a community where all citizens, old and young feel vibrant, connected and valued.  Former Pastor Jetson's oft-repeated mantra is: “The resources necessary to transform urban communities cannot be imported exclusively but must begin with identifying and nurturing what already exists.”
