A Tribute to Advocacy Honoring Attorney Shawon Jackson-Bernard
In this episode, I had the opportunity to interview someone who I have admired all of my life. She has been advocating for change since she was in grade school. She continues to advocate for those who lack the fortitude to advocate for themselves. She's a former educator, an attorney and a voting rights advocate in the city of New Orleans. This is one of my favorite interviews because it speaks to faith, courage and tenacity. I hope you enjoy this episode it just as much as I did interviewing her. This episode is dedicated to all women, across the globe on behalf of Women's History Month.
