After many months away, Next Stop Neighbors has returned….well, virtually at least. Please join me in welcoming the new commissioner for ANC 5A01 for this next podcast conversation. Damion McDuffie, Sr. is excited to get going in this role and has some ideas he would like to share with the community, from addressing recent public safety concerns, brainstorming with neighbors at Single Member District meetings, skull jewelry, and more.  Click here to listen (running time: 12 minutes)*

*P.S.: You can reach Mr. McDuffie at 5A01@anc.dc.gov or at (202) 948-9777

Background on Next Stop Neighbors:

Welcome to Next Stop Neighbors where we get an opportunity to hear the voices behind the faces and places in Lamond-Riggs and the surrounding communities. Through this podcast series, you will meet some friendly neighbors and hear their perspectives on the community through civil, casual conversations. From the small business owner who just opened up, to the non-profit organization trying to make a difference, to the community leader describing their vision for the neighborhood, and the resident around the corner who has lived here for 50 years, we all have a story to tell. We welcome recommendations and, better yet, your own 10-minute interviews too!
