Katie Best-Richmond

Katie Richmond-Best works as the director of storytelling for the H. E. Butt Foundation. She grew up in San Antonio and left the city for college with no plans of ever returning. But as life would have it, she found herself back in San Antonio in 2019 asking questions she didn’t have the words to ask as a child. With new eyes, Katie came back home asking why the city existed as it did. This time around, she sought out people and organizations that were doing the important job of educating and bringing people together. The issues that once made Katie want to leave San Antonio started to inspire her to stay and get more involved in the community.
