In this episode, we talk to Amanda K. Edwards, a native Houstonian, lawyer, former city council member, and former candidate for U.S. Senate. Amanda shares her faith-driven passion for public service and unexpected journey into politics after graduating from Harvard Law School. When asked, “Where do we go from here?” she passionately encourages all of us to become advocates by raising our voices for change and accountability. Edwards warns that the road ahead will be long, but we’ve been here before in the civil rights movement and we have to endure.  For more from Amanda on priority issues and how to get involved in the city of Houston visit amandafortexas.com.
