Introductions

Before we dive into the world of holistic neighborhood development, meet the father-son team behind the Thriving Neighborhoods Lab podcast. Kirk Wester-Rivera brings 28 years of lived experience transforming a historically disinvested Tulsa neighborhood, from founding a federally-qualified health center to leading the creation of Tulsa's only inclusively grown neighborhood in a decade. Markos Wester-Rivera was born and raised in that same community, witnessing neighborhood transformation firsthand while developing expertise in data science and spatial analysis. Together, they founded Cerca Solutions to help organizations become powerful forces for community transformation. In this brief introduction, learn how their unique combination of lived experience, systems thinking, and analytical rigor shapes their approach to supporting community quarterbacks across the country.
