Ep. 59 - Nothing About Us Without Us | Jo Ann Hardesty

Jo Ann Hardesty joins the Sox & Sandals Podcast as she speaks about her campaign for Portland City Council Commissioner Position 3. Jo Ann is unapologetic when it comes to speaking truth to power. In this episode Jo Ann shares how fierce of a competitor she is, and how her mere presence will lead 16 year incumbents to retire! She sheds light on the Portland Gang Enforcement Task Force and their well documented targeting of black people in Portland. One thing is for sure about Jo Ann, she is going to challenge everyone in her presence to do better. She will elevate everyone around her to her level of excellence. I hope you all enjoy this conversation as much as I did!
