“We talk about that nihilistic mindset… what it means to grow up in a community that has that mindset and how that affects them. You have to be honest with them, though, that this is real. This is why y’all are dying.” Part Two of our Stockton highlights charts the move from “most miserable” to community-driven reinvention. Former mayor Michael Tubbs, Barb Alberson, educators, and youth voices show how engagement, focused violence reduction, and student-centered reforms shift outcomes and restore belief. Hear WOW Inc.’s Tama Brisbane and Called To Move’s Brandon Leake on arts as belonging; teacher Anthony Rodriguez on trust; and youth leaders Tafari Lee, Tyla Lovely Cotton, and Johnny Barrios on confronting nihilism with mentors, purpose, and paid opportunity.
