Tara's Been Down, Now She's Helping Other Women to Rise
from Uncorked with Funny Wine Girl · host Jeannine Luby
It can be easy to judge others when we are unaware of their story and when we stop looking through the lenses of kindness and empathy. My guest this week, Tara Gallucci, has felt her share of judgement and she'll tell you herself that much of it was deserved at the time. She was raised in gang culture that left its mark on her life the same as it had her other family members. But after falling down a number of times and serving time in jail, Tara is clean and sober, back on her feet and ready to help pick other women up through her nonprofit program the Still I Rise Empowerment Initiative.
