Unlock the hidden stories behind New York City's iconic street names with our special guest, Rebecca Bratspies, a law professor with a passion for history. Ever wondered why the Major Deegan Expressway is called what it is? Rebecca takes us on a journey through the city's past, sharing how these names reveal layers of history in the most unexpected places. Discover how local communities play a role in shaping the city's landscape through honorary street naming s, offering a unique glimpse into cultural influence and neighborhood pride.

In a world that's constantly moving, personal impact and life lessons are treasures we can all learn from. We talk about the importance of embracing opportunities, learning from failures, and the powerful influence of figures like Penelope Andrews and Lonnie Guinier. Their wisdom offers insights into choosing the right battles and maintaining moral clarity. We also celebrate the inspiration nature provides, even in a bustling urban environment, reminding us of our roots and the commitment to community instilled by our parents.

Join us as we explore the fascinating journey of a law professor who started in genetic research and now makes strides in environmental justice. Experience the joy of creative collaboration and the excitement of new career milestones, like becoming the Oliver Hoke Endowed Professor at Tulane University. Finally, we delve into Rebecca Bratspies's creative works, exploring her comic books and online presence, before offering a raw and honest reflection on personal battles and resilience. This episode is a testament to the power of personal growth, creativity, and the enduring human spirit.
