Thanks for listening to BlissedOut Bytes! Today’s episode features an exceptional guest named Dennett Edwards. I met Dennett on LinkedIn when she invited me to be a part of he Facebook group, Corona Daze Professional Development, which was created to help people amidst the record unemployment during the COVID 19 pandemic. This episode is part of a series called “Amplify Black Voices” which features interviews I’m conducting to highlight black voices on my podcast.
