Grant Tennille-Economic Development

I needed hours to discuss with Grant Tennille all the things on my mind related to economic development. As the former director of the Arkansas Economic Development Commission, he has some things to say, too. We focused a lot on Little Rock. How fantastic it is and what needs improvement. There's a lot of both! Uppity Women is hosted by Stephanie Harris, founder of Women Lead Arkansas, a non-partisan nonprofit whose mission is to empower women and girls to engage in politics, policy, and leadership. This podcast is meant to showcase women (and men!) doing cool things; be a place for hard conversations we need to have before we can make progress (race, politics, feminism, etc.); bring people together to figure sh!t out and get stuff done; and generally thumb our noses at anyone who would tell us what we may or may not do as women.
