When hearing about Quindaro for the first time, or even as in-depth as Stacy and David do here, it is both difficult and frustrating to simultaneously learn that the efforts being made to restore and support Quindaro are not as fruitful as they need to be. To learn more about being involved in Quindaro or to donate to its restoration, visit the Quindaro Ruins Townsite Project website.

In this episode, we are thrilled to be sitting down with KC Leader Stacy Evans to discuss her many roles in the community alongside all her efforts and passions for the Quindaro Ruins Townsite. Although every minute of this episode is as important as the next, here are a few key takeaways:

• Education crisis within the Greater Kansas City Area
• Quindaro Ruins’ rich and unifying history
• Doing what you love- and loving it enough to do it in your free time
