This week's guest is Dr. Shirly Raines. She is the President Emeritus of the University of Memphis and was President for 12 years. She had the uncommon journey of being a sharecroppers daughter in a culture of poverty in Western Tennessee to become the President of the University of Memphis. In this episode, Shirley and Ricardo talk about the culture of Western Tennessee, the #MeToo Movement, female empowerment, and academic cultures. It's an amazing and authentic conversation.
