I’m Your Neighbor | Preview

Sometimes what makes us unique is also what makes us similar. Flatland, KCPT’s digital magazine, is on a mission to better understand our fellow Kansas Citians through our new Youtube series, “I am Your Neighbor.” With thoughtful questions, we aim to make neighbors out of strangers, regardless of zip code.

Every Tuesday and Thursday through the end of January, Flatland will share stories of Kansas City’s neighbors. Find them online here and on Flatland’s Youtube page. 

Reading these stories is free, but telling them is not. Start your monthly gift now to support Flatland’s community-focused reporting.
