Cincinnati Compass

We are so happy to finally announce the launch of Cincinnati Compass's new podcast, "Roots, Routes, and Voices That Shape America" - created and hosted by Clara Matonhodze (Founder, The MCS Agency) and Bryan Wright (Executive Director, Cincinnati Compass). It comes at a much needed time and we are so honored to bring it to you. You can find it here: https://cincinnaticompass.org/roots-routes-voices-that-shape-america/ Please follow, like and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts.

This isn't just another podcast. Born from lived experience and deep curiosity, it explores the real stories of immigrants in our region - from boardrooms to grocery store aisles, from mother tongues to second homes. We're diving into the layers of identity, integration, and what it truly means to call the Cincinnati region home.

Not every voice fits the traditional success narrative, but every story shapes our community and expands our understanding of the American experience.

Thanks to all of our guests (hint, this is the order their episodes will be posted):
David Chimusoro
Nazly Mamedova
Manny Addo
Dr. Shashi Kotagal
Sarah Tsai
Karla C. Boldery, MBI, CBA.
Daniela Küffer Patterson (she/her)
Fatou Souare
and more to come soon!
