Here at Meet the Neighbors, we seek to bridge the gap between “them” and “us”. We do this by telling stories which highlight the unique experiences of extra-ordinary people, just like you—not to say that you are super-duper ordinary, more like you bring extra to the ordinary—whether it’s extra humble, extra helpful, extra hilarious, or on occasion, extra bat-sh*t crazy. With each story, we celebrate the individual, and simultaneously find the universal connection.
So, grab a cup of coffee, diet coke, tea, a glass of wine, or whatever you fancy, and take a journey with us. Peak into the life of a Facebook community page admin, as she is accused of being a communist. Come explore the generational story of a family advocate, as she strives to heal her people. Learn one surprisingly simple method to navigate your loved one’s dementia, with a professor in speech pathology. Go underground with a DJ, where the lights flash, the music is loud, and your body must move.
We hope these tales spark your imagination and inspire you to see life in a new light and to gain a deeper understanding. If nothing else, we hope they will help you consider your own story and share it. And to ask your neighbors about theirs.
