A Woman’s World
I am excited to share with you A Woman’s World, a radio show about women’s dreams & challenges facing our community that I hosted on Jus Radio from Feb.-April 2013.
Though a majority of our world and leaders in our communities and homes, women often go unheard. A Woman’s World strove to vault our voices. Each show delved into a story of women making dreams come true — even in the face of struggle or doubts. I aimed to tap unheard experiences and create a ground for dialogue & change while sharing stories we all need to hear. As a poet and changemaker myself, I am excited to help create a richer ground for our future.
