Description

Elizabeth Montgomery, a Community Relations and Events Producer for The Arizona Republic, is teaming up with Valley 101 in this week's episode. 
During Black History Month, she wrote a column about moving to Metro Phoenix. Montgomery had lived her whole life in Atlanta, Ga. After moving here, she realized quickly that Atlanta and Phoenix are very different. 
One of the biggest differences is the population of African Americans in each city. Atlanta is 52% African American, while Phoenix is just under 7%.
Soon after her arrival, Montgomery searched for her community, for the people, businesses and art that would help her feel at home. And she found it.
In today's episode, she's sharing her tips to learning to love your new home. Montgomery teamed up with producer Maritza Dominguez to share her journey of finding a community in Phoenix.
