Our StitchCast sits down with Emma Klues and Shaughnessy Daniels of Great Rivers Greenway for a conversation about The Brickline Greenway project and the great outdoors, in this episode of StitchCast Studio LIVE! Recorded live at High Low in Saint Louis, Missouri on May 28, 2024.
Emma Klues has been with Great Rivers Greenway since early 2014, currently serving as the Vice President of Communications & Outreach. The goal is to tell the St. Louis region about the greenways, listen to ideas and concerns from community members and create ways for people to live life outside. She loves being outside, leading laughter yoga, eating at local restaurants and giving back to her community. Shaughnessy Daniels is the Director of Civic Engagement at Great Rivers Greenway where she leads the agency’s efforts to gather input that guides planning and implementation for greenway projects.

ABOUT
Watch and be a part of Story Stitchers live podcast discussions, presented on the state-of-the-arts stage of 3301 Washington Ave. Story Stitchers artists and guest artists will round out each presentation with live art interludes. Youth, ages 16-25 years old, discuss current topics in live podcast recordings on stage. Live art interludes are incorporated into the presentations. Learn about the community through the words of young leaders.
Youth, ages 16-25, lead meaningful dialogues that inspire original content in mentor-led workshops based on participants’ lived experiences in economically disadvantaged, high crime areas. Podcasts focus on the streets, gun violence, and finding solutions to issues that are coming at our youth hard. The project goal is to gain greater understanding of the needs and desires of the youth served and to give them an amplified voice to create needed changes in society, to support youth in a successful transition to adulthood, and to reduce youth crime in St. Louis. Youth artists use dialogue, adult guests, original poetry, and music to highlight their personal experiences with gun violence, life transitions, and mental health, promoting mutual respect for diverse ideas, greater understanding, and a more peaceful society.
