Mairlyn Poole-Webb – VR Story

Born and raised in Austin, Marilyn Poole-Webb became active in the neighborhood association as East Austin experienced rapid demographic changes and gentrification. Instead of resisting the inevitable changes, the community embraced them by sharing the neighborhood’s history with new residents. Marilyn emphasized the importance of understanding and respecting the area’s history, which helped new neighbors develop a sense of pride and connection.
