At a time when critical conversations matter the most, Summer Nettles joins to show to share her expertise on what is working and what is not working when it comes to equality.Note, we had a few technical difficulties near the end, but we still made sure not to miss a single portion for you!Summer is an emmy-award-winning videographer, certified conflict resolution facilitator and adjunct professor of communications. She decided to leave television news after defeating Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma in 2014. Since then she has worked with local and state government agencies on everything from documentary films highlighting the disparities present in Denver's communities of color to developing strategic communications plans for social media outreach. Today Nettles serves as the CEO of her own company, Greater Purpose Media, LLC., and she is the first person ever invited to serve as an Artist in Residence for AMP'd Media's Women of Color podcast incubator program.
