Our new Executive Director, Lynsey Farrell, and our Outreach Specialist, Camara Jordan, appeared on WURD Radio this morning in conversation with host Thera Martin. You can hear their excellent interview at the Facebook link below (our segment begins at 30.34 minutes), and it runs for about 15 minutes.
They were so terrific, in fact, that you can look for Camara and Lynsey to appear in a few weeks on Ms. Martin's show on WWDB. Keep an eye out!
