Today’s guest is Shay Stewart-Bouley, who was Chicago-born and raised but is now living close to us here in Maine. Shay is the Executive Director of Community Change, Inc., a civil rights organization in Boston that’s been educating and organizing for racial equality since 1968. Shay writes at Black Girl in Maine and is a TEDx speaker and writer, among so many other things.

In this episode Shay shares all about what it’s like living on a small Island off the coast of Portland, how we can be active locally in fighting racial inequality, what she’s been learned on her recent sabbatical from work and she also reveals her organization and calendar systems that keep her life on track.
