Welcome to the Anyagram Journey. My guest today is my friend Nadiables Weber. She's an

0:15.6

eight on the Anyagram, an astonishing writer, a woman who's accomplished a great deal for

0:23.6

people who are marginalized and looking for their place. She in her

0:30.1

eightness has been seeking justice since I met her and she seeks it now in
