About Imagine Dignity Podcast w/ Dr. Terence Lester

The Imagine Dignity Podcast with Dr. Terence Lester is a podcast for the people—no studios, no comfortable couches, no expensive microphones. The studio is on the side of the road, underneath bridges, next to abandoned buildings, and in encampments where people have no address. It centers on those living on the margins of society or facing social stigma that renders them invisible. By amplifying their voices, Dr. Lester creates a safe space to humanize their stories, push back against stigma, and affirm their dignity to inspire empathy, understanding, and social change.

   Serving Through Struggle | Miss. Pinky’s Story of Faith and Care | #ImagineDignityPodcast Ep. 8 | S2

   In Episode 8 of Season 2 of the Imagine Dignity Podcast, I sat down with Miss. Pinky, a woman whose heart for serving others shines even through her own hardships. Miss. Pinky shared her powerful story of becoming unhoused as a senior citizen after experiencing mistreatment by a landlord who made repairs to her home and then forced her out—without warning while she was away. Despite facing homelessness herself, Miss. Pinky continued her ministry, serving and loving others in the streets of Greenville, South Carolina. She spoke about the importance of visibility, dignity, and servant leadership, and how critical it is for more people to step up and care for the community around them. With 45 years of community service under her belt, Miss. Pinky’s story is a reminder that generosity, compassion, and commitment to others can become hope even in the toughest times. Her dream to do more for Greenville is a call for all of us to see and serve those who are often overlooked.
