“My best memory is just the kids. I mean the look on their faces, some of them have never even been to the water to see it up close, and it’s sad. Your inner-city kids don’t see that, you know, never touched the water. So, my best memory is working with the younger kids more than anything.”

“How people make a way out of no way and our resilience and relationship to what’s given to us is just outstanding. What the community has given to me is a sense of resiliency, of love for one another, and it keeps me humble.”

“With green space in general, you feel connected no matter what's going on in your life, and you can go out and feel protected there. That is so important and so many city kids don't get to do that.”

“The Middle Branch should be available to everyone, including people with disabilities—including blind people. We’re going to be very proud about the diversity, inclusion, equity, and justice that the Middle Branch development is going to bring.”

“Community is an avenue for healing, and I wanted to provide a safe haven for women to not feel judged and feel like they had a space in the world and in our city.”

“If I could change something about my area, I would want to renovate the buildings and create a park. There’s a whole large area of land that’s grassy and it feels like it’s being wasted when it could be a park where people could hang out, walk their dogs and stuff like that."

“I’ve been in Baltimore for almost 8 years now and I’ve definitely fallen in love with the city and its charm. What drove me to go back to school for city and regional planning was actually Baltimore. I began to think about questions like how can we address issues within Baltimore like access?”
