Joyful, Delicious, Vegan: How to heal African American hearts - Sherra Aguirre

Health disparities between Black and Whites, ethnic groups, and socioeconomic groups are not news. Sherra Aguirre speaks with Jean about the leadership role she took on in her community to promote changing the typical African American diet. In concert with other community leaders, the goal was to stave off common health issues such as heart disease, even without medical intervention. In the process, she marries, divorces, completes her education, learns on the fly how to run a profitable business, and finds mentors and helpers all the way. What does it take for a leader to learn how to move the needle? How did she learn how to improve herself first? What is the impact of meditation, grit, mentoring, and a commitment to continuous self-improvement on success?
