Thank you for joining me, your host eco-visual artist and spiritual coach Vanessa Albury, on my journey to becoming a better ally to people of all diversities (bipoc, LGBTQAI2S+, non-normative brained and embodied +) and steward of the environment in podcast form as The Power We Hold! This is part of Coral Projects' work in eco-consciousness healing. In this space we have in-depth conversation together with people of all backgrounds and diverse perspectives about difficult topics full of love, healing and what it is to be a human loving on planet Earth, our only home for now.
This episode is a re-airing of a really powerful conversation Trevor Bayack and I had with Heather McGhee back in 2021 about her research and book The Sum of Us. I like to revisit this conversation to mark my growth and to remember my desire to learn, grow and improve while having compassion for myself. I wish the same for you!

Today's guest is someone I have known since the 7th grade. We went to high school together at Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Magnet High School for the Health Sciences and Engineering in Nashville, TN. She's taken up the challenge of our principal Dr. Spence to be Excellence as a writer, actor, producer and a public health worker. She's one of the kindest people you'll ever have the pleasure to know and very creative. She plays in the new The Color Purple film producer by Oprah Winfrey and is just shines in her role. Enjoy this conversation between two old friends and creatives!
