BLACK in One Piece™

"The Way to Work"


Listen Later

Dr. Tasha: “What helps you feel confident and proud of who you are?” 

Sherrye: “Just me being me.” 

We’re closing out our celebration of Black Business Month with a conversation featuring Sherrye McDowell, Left on Read’s very first part-time employee through The Way to Work program.  

In June, you met Sherrye on her first day of work. 10 weeks later, on her last day of work, she joined Dr. Tasha to reflect on the experience, what she learned, and what being BLACK in One Piece means to her as she begins high school.
