Ash Esposito: Weaving Neighbors Together in Baltimore, MD

Ash Esposito shares her story here as part of Aspen Institute’s Weave: Social Fabric Project of a journey from shy youth to sparking creative and expansive neighborhood connection with her fellow residents of Violetville Neighborhood in Baltimore, MD.

 

Weave: The Social Fabric Project tackles the problem of broken social trust that has left Americans divided, lonely, and in social gridlock. Weave connects, supports, and invests in local leaders stepping up to weave a new, inclusive social fabric where they live. The project was founded by New York Times columnist and author David Brooks at the Aspen Institute.
