How to Be a STAND for Racial Equality in Our Communities

In light of everything happening in our society regarding race, racism and racial injustice, we wanted to have an open dialogue with some amazing community leaders with the goal to empower our InvestHER community to take action against racial injustice. In this episode, we speak with four outstanding women: Cheryl Lundy Swift, Tennille McCoy, Kim Avant-Babb, and Patricia Red Hawk. During this special episode, we had an honest, transparent, and real dialogue about what’s on our hearts and in our minds, specific steps we can take as mothers to educate and be role models for our children, goals and initiatives we can take as group and community leaders, and ultimately, where we can go from here. Our mission is to serve ALL women and we hope this discussion will help inspire real movement so we can be a part of the solution.
