For people who live in Cleveland's Buckeye-Shaker neighborhood, a new mural is creating much-needed momentum, and helping make Northeast Ohio a better land.

"If we all just walked around a little bit more, and if we walk down streets we don't normally go down just to be seen and to see the people who are there, we really would be starting to build a healthier community," said Love. "Through those conversations, the words and the stories and the affirmations came from the residents and were then incorporated into the artwork," said Bianca Butts, Buckeye-Shaker resident."It was their thoughts, it was their ideas, it was their concepts," Carter said."How we can go through these swings of, you know, uplifting and positivity. But then there's also some harsh truths and realities like overcoming trauma and grief," Love said.
