In this episode we're joined by Melissa Gaona, who tells a fascinating story of her journey into the News World, and our little corner of Appalachia. We talk about her growing up in Texas, her time in the Army, living in Southwest Virginia, and planting roots in the Roanoke Valley. We also discussed her involvement in Street Ransom, which is a non-profit that empowers victims of sex trafficking, and how important it is for our community.  This is one awesome episode you don't want to miss out on.
