Link accessible at joyousjustice.buzzsprout.com. ✅As April sings at the beginning of the episode, “Oh, the world (and Joyous Justice) is changing, and I am changing too.” This week, we’re getting a glimpse into April’s mind and spirit around the multi-year journey she’s been on to shape Joyous Justice as a bold, leading-edge organization in and for the Jewish community. Follow along as April describes how she’s now more fully equipped to step into a larger, broader vision for the scope and impact of her voice and the Joyous Justice team’s work, while remaining true to her and our rootedness in Jewish ways of being.
