About this episode

The episode features a conversation between Thea and Glendina Roseborough about community building and personal transformation in Wynwood.

Join Thea for another episode of Thea’s Neighborhood Magic, a behind the scenes look at what really goes into igniting a neighborhood. Thea is joined by Glendina Roseborough. Fifteen years ago, Glendina interviewed with Thea for a job to be Wynwood’s neighborhood ambassador cleaning the streets and welcoming visitors. Thea headed up the newly formed clean streets-job creation program created by the women business owners in Wynwood, a group known as The Women of Wynwood. Now fifteen years later, Thea and Glendina share the memory of their first meeting. “We were lucky we found you,” Thea told her. “When I think about Wynwood, you're really the magic for me.” The job enabled Glendina to leave the women’s shelter she had been living in and move into stable housing. Glendina’s dedication, hard work and enthusiasm made the brand new Wynwood clean streets program a huge success. Glendina has been a consistent presence in Wynwood, through all kinds of challenging conditions. She is a highly valued member of the community, lovingly known as ‘Mom’. Glendina is a inspiring example of commitment, perseverance and positivity and represents the best of what a community can be when it works…
