Race, Class, and Sisterhood: Perspective is everything when processing through the lens of social unrest with Nicole Vick

"I'm an educator I teach public health. And so I also see things through this public health, social justice lens. It can be interesting to understand things from that epidemic level and understand why things are happening the way that they are right now from that perspective. And then ultimately say but daggone it, I'm a black woman and this hurt. This is horrible. This is unfair. And I don't know what's going to happen next. So that's that weird sort of line that I walk, almost all the time." Nicole Vick Welcome to Walking Through Glass: The Podcast. You are invited to ear-hustle on an intimate conversation where we discuss our journey, joys, and diva "hacks" that help us “walk through glass”. Unscripted and Real. We share our stories and give you our best strategies to navigate fear, anxiety, depression, limited beliefs, negative self-talk, and shut up the imposter bully beating up our self-confidence. Walking Through Glass: The Podcast is about the struggle we face as women on our journey which I’ve coined "walking through glass". This podcast is all about telling our stories and LEARNING to live our authentic TRUTH. Meet Nicole Vick ... Nicole Vick is a public health professional, educator, civic leader, and image consultant who  has spent the last fifteen years providing tools and strategies to stakeholders, community-based organizations, students, and residents to improve health and prevent disease in some of Los Angeles County’s most underserved communities. Her commitment to community has led to a few prestigious appointments. She serves on the boards of three public health/social service organizations and for two years chaired the Health Commission for the City of Los Angeles. Ms. Vick has a B.S. in Public Policy and Management and Master of Public Health degrees from the USC, a place she lived less than 5 minutes away from growing up but felt beyond reach for a young girl from South Central LA. In her first “Pushing Through: Finding the Light in Every Lesson” she shares both the heartbreaking pain and the extraordinary triumphs that led her to advocacy and social justice work. Her story takes place against the background of the long neglected and overlooked community of South-Central Los Angeles, where she grapples with the grotesque imbalance of power and privilege as it unfolds in every aspect of her life and those around her.
