In the early 2000's Latisha Thomas moved her and her family from their comfortable and vibrant home in a bustling Northside Chicago neighborhood to a neighborhood known as Woodlawn on Chicago's Southside. Within that same time, she found a problem that needed to be addressed within her new community and set out to solve it. What was the problem? Unity. Latisha decided that the best way to unify her neighborhood and similar disadvantaged communities was to start an organization that focused on uniting and empowering the people, especially, "young folk" who live and dwell in the area. On this episode of the Good Seeker podcast, Latisha shares the importance of S.T.E.A.M. based programs, creating organic spaces for the youth in Chicago, and how her organization I Am We is using the arts as a catalyst to engage the community.
