It’s Still Our City | Ep. 11 Katrina

by | Jul 7, 2025 | COMMUNITY, CULTURE, MUSIC, PODCASTS

“This woman is important. This episode is exactly why I wanted to start the podcast. Real deal service industry fella. Mom of 3… she’s been in Richmond for a minute and is traversing all the changes that surround us, whilst hustling super hard with a smile. This gal is a badass.

Join us as we discuss with Katrina walking the delicate line between chaos and calm—where early mornings meet super late nights, and the love for her children meets this hyper-evolving industry.

Rooted deep in this community, Katrina holds her own center… a quiet, steady balancing act of selfhood, service, and whatever is in between.

This was a super fun episode for us. This woman is hilarious, and I’m almost certain she’s served some of y’all at one of the many wonderful small businesses that she’s employed by. Maybe even babysat a few of you when you were going through it. I really hope y’all have never ordered a rum and Coke from her.

Our water is fucked again. Surprise, surprise. I’m sorry this keeps happening to us, guys. Hope everyone is doing as best as possible. This is the perfect way to spend your time on a rainy day.

Huge thanks to NODDERLY for documenting this banger, and to RVA Magazine for always having our back.” — host, Harrison Christy
