Activism Redefined with Nerissa Street


Listen Later

We all know how difficult the past 18 months have been. Many of us have felt anger, disgust, sadness, and helplessness. The things that we have seen have called many into action, and others to question how to take meaningful action. Many took to the streets in a bid to protest against some of the unfair treatment they were receiving and advocate for civil rights. Truth is, activism now is very different from what it used to be while we were growing up. 

In today’s episode, I am with Nerissa Street, the founder of Black Women Podcasting. She is a multiple award-winning storytellers who has found a unique way to help professionals trust their stories to lead a powerful, authentic life. A long-term learner and lover of education, Nerissa speaks about how you can use the power of your unique voice to powerfully impact your industry. 

If you are looking for a wake-up call on flipping the script on generally accepted facts, you will fall in love with this episode!

In a nutshell, we talk about:

  • How Nerissa got into activism and how power follows planning.
  • Why you should speak your own story and still be okay with being who you want to be.
  • What activism looks like and how activists can speak about the things that concern them and be heard.
  • How you can take a bolder step to affect the change that you want to see.
  • How to go about effecting the change you want to see behind the scenes.
  • How parents can help their kids understand and process what is going on right now. 

...and so much more!
