For the next two weeks, we will be featuring two episodes from storyteller Michelle.

In part one, Michelle will be sharing about her time at a large Christian organization.

She worked at this organization for eight years, and despite her hard work and passion for the community she served,

Michelle's voice as a single woman was eventually diminished.

In part two, Michelle will talk about how she not only found her voice again, but a career

where she can help bring restoration and healing to others.

So be sure to tune in next week to hear Part 2.

Those are the options.
