About What A Word!

I’ve learned that words are wonderful when used in a correct way. They can encourage, edify and give confidence to the hearer. A right word spoken at the right time can actually be life-changing…’ Thats why I started a podcast so I could have conversations with individuals who inspire. I believe if you listen to the podcast you will be inspired as well

   111. Your Story Is Worth Telling! w/ Dr. Eva M. Wheeler, Sociolinguist Scholar and Author

   Eva Michelle Wheeler is a college professor and semi -retired attorney whose love for travel has taken her to more than 60 countries on six continents. A self-proclaimed eternal optimist, free spirit, and dreamer of big dreams, Eva regularly inhabits the intersection between “Black Girl Magic” and “Black Girl Mess.” When she’s not traveling or teaching, you can find Eva on a beach with a passion fruit cocktail and some local vegetarian cuisine. Eva has lived in 16 cities, seven U.S. states, and four countries (and contrary to the rumor her friend Kathy’s mom started, she does not secretly work for the CIA). You can follow Eva on Instagram: @evadelaire_

   A battle hardened litigator and strategist for Justice, Sean Farrow’s career was forged in the high stakes area of criminal defense where he secured full acquittals in cases with life altering consequences. That trial tested tenacity and intellectual rigor now drive a focused labor and employment practice dedicated to advocating for individuals facing discrimination, harassment and systemic work place injustice.
