Full Circle: A Journey From Homelessness to Community Advocacy

It’s time to roll out the red carpet for our special guest, Melie. She's here to share her journey through homelessness during the Pandemic and how she became a full-time college student who is now bringing a voice to the experience of homeless youth in our community.

Melie’s courageous story shines a light on the often-invisible realities of homeless youth for our listeners. She is a tremendous example of strength, resiliency, and hope.  In fact, the day of the podcast recording marked the 3rd anniversary of her losing her permanent housing.  Listen to her full-circle story!
