Jonni and Maria discuss everyday activism and how to use your voice and work to make the world a better place. We share our journey and offer up small actions that make a big difference - even if you feel like the world’s problems are too overwhelming.  We got a little vulnerable in our own wins and fails and why we really believe the world needs us all to take brave little steps toward equity and justice. Plus, our picks for TV shows to watch when looking for a mental break, SO MANY great book and podcast recommendations, and fun facts about Encanto.
