Development Manager for the American Cancer Society Maryann Malec is out at the WCCO Fair porch to preview an upcoming Cancer awareness event out at the Mall of America.

The presence, impact, and influence of female politicians and lawmakers continues to grow. Former state representative Karla Bigham and Cottage Grove councilwoman Monique Garza join Sheletta to discuss the increased responsibility.

Sheletta has more to chat about so you can get ready for more events once the Fair concludes. This hour, she talks with:

If you're looking for a fun time in a unique location, there's an upcoming charitable event that might tickle your fancy. Children's Hospital Association executive director Sarah Driever and Jaymi Danz from US Bank join Sheletta to give us a look-ahead.

Coming up, Sheletta will host the Minnesota Association of Black Lawyers' annual gala. Executive director Aisha Richardson previews the event and discusses the group's efforts to help more Black students reach their dream profession.

Teach for America Minnesota was ready for their annual celebration gala in June, but the unthinkable happened that day (the killings of Melissa and Mark Hortman and the shootings of John and Yvette Hoffman). The gala was rescheduled and will now take place. Mikisha Nation lets us know when.

The lineup of guests continue to roll through our booth at the Minnesota State Fair. This hour, Sheletta welcomes:

Mikisha Nation from Teachers for America
