This week's episode features a delightful conversation with Belinda Stewart and will resonate with you if you have ever wondered if it's possible to do the type of work you want to do in your hometown. Or what it would take to be able to use buildings to tell the often difficult histories of a place.

In this episode we chat about the importance of adaptive reuse, historic tax credits, and the impact of vernacular architecture. Belinda also highlights her work in memorializing Emmett Till's story and the significance of community involvement in these projects. The conversation emphasizes the need for understanding the history behind buildings and the stories they tell, as well as the importance of funding and grants in making projects a reality.
