Summary

The shadows of your past can lead to a bright future, so expect to SHINE no matter what! This week SJR sat down with a boss babe who clearly understood the assignment! Our girl, Tashara Parker, is an Emmy award-winning journalist in Dallas, TX, the founder of a non-profit organization called “Loud Women Lead”, and a national advocate for the natural hair movement known as “The Bun Ministry”. Together they discussed why representation matters, how to navigate unchartered territory, serving the greater good, and family reconciliation. Sis, stop leaving out parts of your story that you don't want others to see. God wants to highlight it as a reflection of His grace! This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.
