À propos de cet audio

 Hosts Aaron Story and Greg Enas sit down at COhatch Polk Stables in Indianapolis with community leader Gina Fears, Peer Innovation Manager at Mental Health America Indiana’s ICAADA, MHAI Stanley W. DeKemper Training Institute. Fears shares her roots near 36th and Ralston, reflects on Martindale and Brightwood history, and explains how faith, active listening and resident engagement drive the 2025–2030 Martindale-Brightwood Quality-of-Life Plan. She highlights youth engagement— including a student film, The Sound of Love—and a strong focus on mental health. The conversation touches on partners such as Edna Martin Christian Center, KIPP, neighborhood associations (including One Voice), and how residents can join monthly priority meetings and town halls. Fears notes the plan is certified by the city and available via the Department of Metropolitan Development. 00:00 Welcome & Introductions 03:00 Meet Gina Fears: Community Roots 06:00 Life in Martindale-Brightwood: Family & History 13:00 Overcoming Challenges & Building Business 18:00 Community Transformation: Railroads & Resilience 24:00 The Power of Relationship-Building 29:00 Youth Engagement & The Sound of Love 34:00 Quality of Life Plan: Vision & Priorities 40:00 Resident Engagement & Community Challenges 45:00 Churches, Asset-Based Approaches, and Neighborhood Ownership 49:00 Journey to Joy: Faith & Final Reflections 51:00 Closing Thoughts & Next Steps
