As we close out 2021, this episode is perfectly timed. While recorded in mid-November, we’re releasing it now. Listen in as SNT speaks candidly with Poet Laureate Ashley M. Jones (Alabama’s first black person to hold the position) about dreams, goals, and taking actionable steps to live life the way you want. Additionally, Ms. Jones reads from her third book of poetry, Reparations Now. Get prepared to drop in heavy with the gravity of her words. Hello, Somebody.
Thank you all for listening to Season 2 of Hello Somebody! It has been a pleasure to spend time with you in 2021 as we uplifted change so that we may all live better lives. See you in 2022!
Ashley M. Jones
