This week we’re going to a town in in southern West Virginia that’s also nicknamed the “Dogwood City” and is often called “Home of Champions” in basketball, after claiming several state high school titles before consolidation in 1998. Here’s a hint … host Jessica Lilly was once on the sidelines in uniform, cheering on the team at this town’s school. Listen to the show to hear Wyoming County Circuit Clerk explain how the town of Mullens, W.Va. got its name.

Kristina "Breezie" Weaver grew up in southern West Virginia with a loving family and father who struggled with addiction. Breezie says that her family was open about her father’s struggles and that’s why she’s able to talk about it openly. David Siers died in June of 2015 of a heroin overdose. Breezie hopes that by sharing her story and the story of her relationship with her father, it might help someone else.  
Breezie shares her experience with Inside Appalachia host, Jessica Lilly.
