Article by Becky Fillinger

Brianna RoseThis month’s episode of Milling About with Brianna Rose will first air on May 20 at 8PM on MCN6. The show replays for a month every Thursday and Friday at 8PM and Monday and Tuesday at 5PM. The May show will introduce you to several noteworthy leaders:

• Evan Benson, President, and Deborah Brister, Administrator & Outreach Coordinator, for the Audubon Park Neighborhood Association
• Ramona Kitto Stately, Santee Sioux Nation and Project Director for We Are Still Here Minnesota informs us about Indigenous Education for All, an initiative to make Native people visible in educational programming and to challenge false narratives that have been taught for decades. She also highlights the Minnesota Native American Lives book series - written, edited and illustrated by and about Minnesota Native Americans.
• Audrey Liquard describes the benefits of reusable menstrual products – better for your body, the environment and your purse!  #ZeroWasteLifestyle
• Jeb Myers, President, and Kiara Machuca, Corporate Relations team member, tell us the amazing success stories of Cristo Rey Jesuit High School. These include 100% graduation rate, 100% college acceptance rate and every student maintains a career enhancing job during their time at the high school. So many of our local students have talent, but no access to career or educational opportunities.  Cristo Rey is changing that storyline in the Twin Cities.
• Rinal Ray, Chief Executive Officer of People Serving People, informs us of the many programs available for families at their downtown facility. The organization is much more than a place for families experiencing homelessness – it provides education, meals and basic supplies, help navigating government systems and a sense of community.  There are many ways to help People Serving People – please check out the interview for ideas to engage with our worthy neighbor.
