Many of us long for community, and when you find it, that community can be one of the most enriching parts of your life. Your role in your community, however, should not be a passive one.

Women in the workplace are a group being impacted at an alarming rate with issues that often make zero sense and cause undue stress and uncertainty, ultimately brewing feelings of resentment and overall disunity in the workplace.

Joi Freeman, a highly successful business woman and 4word woman, talks about what it's like to be a single woman of color in the workplace, and how her status carries over to the church. Hosted by Jordan Johnstone.
