GITM - Ep #36 - Hurricane Helene - One Year After

One year ago, Hurricane Helene tore through Western North Carolina, leaving behind a trail of devastation that forever changed the lives of thousands. In this episode, we reflect on the storm’s lasting impact. Join us as we sit down with local survivors and Swannanoa Resilience Hub organizer Tonia Allen, a nonprofit organizer who has spent the last year helping rebuild what was lost. Through powerful first-hand stories of loss, resilience, and community strength, this episode pays tribute to those who lost loved ones, homes, and a sense of normalcy. We also explore the efforts still underway to heal the land and the people affected.
