This episode features a community conversation led by mental health advocate, storyteller, and podcaster Raina Otoun. Participants reflect on their experiences navigating the pressures of Metro Surge, the racial dynamics that emerged during that period, and the lasting effects that continue to shape their lives and communities. At the request of the participants, speakers remain anonymous as they share deeply personal stories of vulnerability, fear, resilience, and the difficult decisions they faced in the months that followed.
