This episode features two powerful conversations discussing creativity, community, and impact in Middlesex County.

★ We spotlight Middlesex County United Way, highlighting the organization’s work across all 15 towns in the county

We’re joined by:
• Shawonda S. Swain-President & CEO
• Brian Thompson-Director of Community Impact
• John Brink-Board Member and Community Impact Committee member

Together, they explain how United Way mobilizes donors, partners, and volunteers to strengthen families across the county and how you can get involved.

★ We also sit down with Pierre Sylvain, multimedia artist and curator, to discuss Spirit Through Glass, his exhibition in Middletown. He reflects on his artistic journey, the influence of his Haitian heritage, and his commitment to creating art that heals and connects.

From United Way to Pierre Sylvain, this episode is about showing up for community in meaningful ways.
