Ep 57 Alanis Broussard - Soul to Speak Girl Scout Gold Award Project

Full transcription available at http://heartsofgoldpodcast.com/ More about Laney: Alanis Renell Broussard (Laney) is a young woman who has an endless desire to advocate for avenues of change through the power of speech and communication with others across all walks of humanity. Having first joined Girl Scouts back in the 1st grade, Alanis is now a 2021 Gold Award recipient and alumna to the program. Education-wise, she is now a first-year Dean's Honor List student at Boston University who is double-majoring in Public Relations and Journalism. Reigning from the city of Atlanta, she constantly has a front row seat to the abilities of the black community, in particular, to evoke evolution of the media industry. Because of this, her desire to contribute a fresh, youthful twist on the traditional standards of media has never ceased to exist. Among the many accolades she has received, her most notable achievements include being selected as a speaker for the TEDxPenn 2021 conference, being interviewed by USA Today in her own segment entitled "Coronavirus Chronicles," being featured on Good Morning America, being one of the youngest keynote speakers at the Atlanta World Congress Center in 2019, earning a full-expense paid internship at Essence Magazine headquarters, being asked to speak on the nationally-televised event "Graduate Together 2020" hosted by Lebron James, and starting her own public speaking program for her Gold Award project called Soul to Speak. Alanis is also known for being announced as an official Posse Foundation scholar, acceptance into the Communicative Arts Governor's Honors Program 2019 cohort, a member of the leadership board for ChatHer Talks, an ambassador and frequent speaker for the Girl Scouts of Greater Atlanta, an alumna for People to People travels, a student media chair for the Harvard Debate Council Diversity Project, and for being an ambassador for the Miss Media Program and National Calls Board. To her, the call to "speak your soul" has never felt more true as she continues her journey of inspiring, understanding, and communicating with others.
