Get into some Good Trouble! Information is power!Embrace Boston and NBC10 Boston have joined forces to bring you the Good Trouble podcast. Its goal: to inform, inspire and enlighten the Boston community and beyond, with stories of people breaking down barriers by fighting "The Good Fight." Inspired by civil rights leader John Lewis' "words of encouragement," the podcast connects with our region's noisemakers and key stakeholders by sharing their personal journeys of becoming champions of change and good troublemakers.
In this episode of Good Trouble, we sit down with Rixy, the Boston-based muralist and visual artist reshaping the city's public art landscape.
Known for her bold, narrative-driven work, Rixy talks about the responsibility of telling stories in public space — and what it means to create art that reflects the people, culture, and history of the communities it lives in. From being selected for the Rose Kennedy Greenway's Dewey Square Mural to building a body of work rooted in identity and visibility, he shares how art can challenge, affirm, and transform how a city sees itself.
We explore the intersection of art, community, and belonging — and why public art is more than aesthetic. It's memory, it's resistance, and it's a living conversation with the city.
Good Trouble is a podcast from Embrace Boston, produced in partnership with NBC10 Boston, featuring the thinkers and creators shaping our civic and cultural landscape.
