Making a Difference in the Black Community: Atlanta Youth Academy, a discussion with Erin Conrad.

This is an amazing discussion with Erin Conrad who is the Director of Development at Atlanta Youth Academy. While the narrative is that no one is doing anything to provide educational opportunities for those in underprivileged neighborhoods, we discover the truth, as Erin shares what her school has been doing for years. The results and the community impact are amazing. You will enjoy this episode.
