In this We’re Good Podcast  episode host Lee Ann Necessary Brownlee takes us inside Horton’s Kids’ podcast studio in Southeast DC—and you can hear the difference immediately. There’s warmth in the room, laughter in the hallways, and a kind of steady purpose that feels less like an interview and more like a homecoming. Horton’s Kids was the very first guest on the We’re Good Podcast, and a year later, the team returns to see what’s grown—and what the community faces on a daily basis.

In this episode, Erica Ahdoot, CEO of Horton’s Kids, and Rahaman “Kil” Kilpatrick, Senior Manager of Community and Family Engagement, discuss the incredible work of supporting children and families in Washington, D.C.’s Anacostia neighborhood. From pre-K through high school graduation and beyond, Horton’s Kids is committed to building trust, fostering mentorship, and creating safe spaces for kids to thrive.
