In this one, Cody and co-host Aurora Ford talk to Heidi Huppert. Aurora is a former journalist and currently works at Covenant House Alaska; Heidi is the Chief Program Officer at Covenant House. Heidi's perspective on homelessness in Alaska is unique because, in her younger years, she spent time on the streets of Anchorage. Her mom had a violent and abusive boyfriend and Heidi didn't feel safe at home. So, one night after an especially brutal domestic situation, she found herself wandering around Spenard, trying to figure out what she was gonna do. She was about 12 years old and she had school in the morning. Because it was open and because it was familiar, she ended up just hanging out at McDonald's. She says that, for a long time, she didn't tell her story. It was just too hard to relive those memories, and the violence and the pain that came with them. But right now, she's at a point in her life where she sees how much power and strength there is in telling her story. How it can potentially help a young person understand that they might be in the middle of the worst moment or moments of their life, but it won't last forever. Things can get better.  Heidi says that the issues of homelessness and human trafficking — another issue that she deals with a lot at work — are ones that we have to care about because they involve young people and they are the future of Alaska. They will one day hold the political, economic and social power. So, if we want our state to be healthy, we have to care about what is happening to our young people.

The Spenard area of Alaska is known for its eclecticism and diversity amongst its people, its businesses, and its artistic sensibilities. Long has it been the host of Tommy's Burger Stop, Chilkoot Charlies, Center Bowl, and more currently The Drip, the city's first black-owned coffee hut. It's no wonder that this area specifically also openly celebrates American jazz culture, and has instituted an event to partake in its music.

Thank you for listening to this week’s Biz Vizion with Alaska Tracy.  This week, Zoi Maroudas-Tziolas shares some heartfelt testimonies about how and why she started Bambinos Baby Food.  Zoi says, "We are not just a baby food company; we are an extension of your love and commitment to your family." Bambino's celebrates their Grand Opening on September 1st by opening their new manufacturing location and retail store front at 2819 Spenard in Anchorage, Alaska.   Bambinos Baby Food is a national natural, organic baby food company that ships 24 meals directly to parents’ doorsteps.  So yes, you can order if you live outside of Alaska!  The flavors are delicious.  I tried the salmon - it was like a creamy bisque, and I loved it. I loved it so much that I fed it to my husband for dinner! Guess what? He liked it too! The baby food is nutritionally focused to address allergies and lay the foundation for healthy eating habits that will last a lifetime. Meals are packaged in fun star shapes to be enjoyed frozen like popsicles to be used as a natural teether, or they can be warmed up into a beautiful smooth puree. Every bite offers a great balance of protein, grain and vegetables creating a healthy, tasty and allergist-approved meal. Zoi told me that people with food allergies, those who are bodybuilders, and people that are concerned about what they put in their bodies buy Bambinos! I will be buying her products for my healthy meals, and I also fed to our fur baby that is surviving bone cancer.  We have her on a strict healthy diet, and she loved the stars!   After our interview, Zoi shared what it was like to move to the US as a 4-year-old from Greece.  She has been working in some way, shape or form to help her family’s business from a very young age.   My take away: Zoi has learned to roll up her sleeves and work hard to achieve a life beyond her wildest dreams for herself and her family.  What a gift she is to our community in Anchorage and businesses all over. I hope you will take the time to share, comment and remember to subscribe to Biz Vizion with Alaska Tracy.   As always,  if you know someone whose story is filled with inspiration, please drop me a message as they may be a perfect fit for the podcast.
