OUR STORIES:

Our second series, Brownsvillain Sidewalk Cypher is a series of conversations with community members broken into short clips for your "Edutainment."

Brownsville residents are often characterized as villains though their personal stories are seldom told. In the clips above, we take to the streets to have residents voice their own opinions. Decide for yourself, who are Brownsvillains? Why are they characterized this way? What do they have to say about their own community and what are their hopes for the future of Brownsville?

Our first series consists of few short community interviews. Hear from a 'fitness guy', a mother, a few entrepreneurs, a show runner and a young environmental activist.
