On today’s episode I interview writer/producer/activist/ organizer Shannon Morton.

Shannon has spent most of her career working in tv and film, and her love of storytelling drew her to writing courses at UCLA extension and ultimately producing her own web series. Through all that, Shannon has always been an activist for BLM. After the most recent racially charged deaths, her heart for social justice moved her to start her own non profit called Black Women Lead, which is focused on equal justice for black people and the preservation of black lives.

Tune in as we talk through her journey, what Black Women Lead is doing in the community, and why she believes black women leaders could change our world.
