The Miller Time Podcast: People of Color Redefining Success

We continue the People of Color Redefining Success series by interviewing Porsche Kelly, aka The Poetic Activist. Porsche is an author, motivational speaker, and artist of many talents from Oakland, Ca. With a passion for God, black and women empowerment, and mental health, especially among people of color, Porsche aims to bridge the gap between faith & social justice, create atmospheres for conversation on faith, racism, sexism, mental health, and trauma, and inspire others to join in these conversations to find freedom in telling their own stories through poetry, music, motivational speaking, workshops, and dance. Her mantra to live by is a powerful statement of activation: "Erase shame. Tell your story."
