Episode 11 - Dr. Haner Hernández, Recovery Leadership Summit Live

Hello and welcome to Recovery Stories have Power, my name is Oliver Books.We are so excited to bring you four very special podcast episodes throughout the months of June and July. The Recovery Leadership Summit hosted nearly 500 people from all across the recovery space. We had four amazing keynote speakers, and came together as a community to learn and grow from one another. On today’s episode I sit down with Dr. Haner Hernandez. Haner is a veteran of the health and human services field, having worked in this space for over 36 years. In our conversation, we dive into the past, from coming to America during the civil rights movement, becoming incarcerated, then going on to higher education and working in the health field. We examine how those experiences, and the communities that have woven them together continue to inform the work Haner has been doing in the field.Thoughts? Guest suggestions?
