Michelle Barnes-Real Images

Michelle Barnes is the founder of Real Images. From www.realimages.org: Michelle's vision for Real Images formed in 2006 when she saw that young girls didn't have many positive or healthy images of women in the media. In 2007, she began conducting self-image workshops for teenagers and facilitating empowerment workshops for young women. She finally decided to make her passion wide spread when she founded Real Images in 2014. Michelle is a native of south Arkansas. She has a Bachelor of Sociology and a Master of Public Administration both from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock. www.womenleadarkansas.org darylshawn.bandcamp.com/music 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.
