Aaron is pleased to be joined by a guest co-host for the first time! Herandy Lucas Pino joined Aaron for a wide-ranging interview with Adam Dickson. Adam is the Director of the Langston Multicultural Center in Johnson City, TN. Adam is a well respected elected official, civic leader, and self-proclaimed “community gadfly.” He is a strong advocate for increasing diversity in predominantly white Appalachia and committed to sharing stories about African Americans in Appalchia.
Herandy serves as an instructor and community liaison at the Langston Center working with Adam. She shares about her experience living in Johnson City as a Latinx Dreamer who recently became a college graduate.
