Exploring Mesa's Vibrant Asian District - Mayor Giles and Muralist Kadihma Tung

Join co-hosts Tim Bourcet and Casey Gilchrist as they dive into the culture and community of Mesa's thriving Asian District.

First, we chat with Mesa Mayor John Giles, an accomplished leader and triathlete, who shares insights into the growth of Mesa's Asian district and his role in supporting development.

Then, we're thrilled to introduce muralist Kadhima Tung, a Chinese Muslim-American artist with a fascinating background. Born in Saudi Arabia and raised in Arizona, Kadhima brings a rich tapestry of experiences to her art, which we explore in depth.

This episode is a journey through community, culture, and creativity, highlighting the diverse and dynamic spirit of Mesa. Tune in for an enlightening conversation that celebrates the unique flavors, stories, and talents of this vibrant region.
