River Roots & Queen City Tales: A Sunset Chat by the Banks

Molly Wellman & Abbey Cummins Season 2 Episode 10

In this special episode of Cincy 5 o’clock Tales, hosts Molly Wellmann and Abbey Cummins, owner of Everything Cincinnati, welcome two powerhouse women shaping the cultural heartbeat of the Tri-State: Rachel DeRochers and Susan Fisher.

Rachel DeRochers, a renowned Cincinnati entrepreneur and community builder, is best known as the founder of Grateful Grahams and The Incubator Kitchen Collective, where she helps food startups grow with intention and gratitude.
Joining her is Susan Fisher, a longtime event producer and branding expert behind some of the city's most beloved happenings — and now the lead force behind the much-anticipated River Roots Festival, coming soon to The Banks.

Recorded live at the picturesque River’s Edge in Newport, right along the banks of the Ohio River, the conversation flows as easily as the river itself. The group dives into Cincinnati’s evolving culture, the magic of community-building, and the deep history carried by the river that runs through it all.

Tune in for local passion, powerful stories, and a first look at what’s coming to the riverfront in 2025.
