This week's episode pulls back the layers of the life of a #MiltaryVeteran, who continues to serve, continues to grow, and continues to tell not just #HerStory…but A #SoldiersStory, and the help, support, and grace our military needs from the communities and organizations they come home to.

My guest, Crystal Ellington is a POWERHOUSE.  Crystal is a dynamic, agile storyteller, who is passionate about speaking up for those who have historically been disenfranchised, systemically excluded, and institutionally oppressed. She leverages her service to her country to ensure that those that have served, and those still serving, have a voice and a safe space.

Crystal has been a Fellow in the George W. Bush Presidential Center Stand-To Veterans Leadership Program, the Veterans Program for Politics and Civic Engagement at Syracuse University, and the New Politics Leadership Academy.

She is also the Founder & CEO of GenOnyx Consulting, LLC, where she provides diversity, equity, and inclusion strategy building and implementation for government-affiliated entities as well as veteran and military service organizations.
