Live Interview
Listen to a live interview this Saturday, 11/3, at 7am PT with Well Woman Radio.
The interview will run for approximately an hour, and will focus on what I have overcome and what I plan to do in the future, including how I will use the film to raise awareness and create positive change. Please listen in or catch the broadcast later. It’s East Coast time, so I’ll ask about archive and be sure my PTers have a way to tune in later.
The broadcast can be heard online at www.wamoam.com. The interviewer’s name is LaVerne Baker Hotep.
