Life On The Margins

by Jini Palmer, South Seattle Emerald, Marcus Harrison Green, Town Hall, Enrique Cerna

News

For some people, power is the ability to speak as truly as possible. Not everyone has that power or the ability to act on it. Too often that opportunity has been denied to historically marginalized groups. Much of our media systemically pushes them and their stories to the edges of society. But we're proof that if you speak loudly enough, your voice can still triumph, even from the margins. Every single podcast will strive to spotlight, elevate and amplify stories not just about our marginalized communities, but from within, and alongside them. Join us as we loudly trumpet Life On the Margins.____________________________________________________________________Hosted By : Enrique Cerna // Jini Palmer // Marcus Harrison Green____________________________________________________________________Presented in Partnership w/ Town Hall Seattle & The South Seattle Emerald
