This episode's guest is Emily May, Executive Director of Hollaback! and Heart Mob. We met through one of her newest initiatives, 100Days100Dinners (http://100days100dinners.us), and I was amazed and inspired at her lifelong commitment to stand up for others and use her voice to speak out. We discuss her path to that work, how we decide the narratives that we're going to carry for the rest of our lives, and how to find balance and relationship in the field of social justice.
