Ep. 1 A Conversation with Rachel Willis-Henry
Welcome to the FIA Audio Advocacy Experience!
This is different than your standard podcast. This is a curated playlist from various sources that highlight our most vulnerable communities leading the way to educational liberation. In this first episode, we revisit our fallen angel, Rachel. Rachel, in many ways, was the heart of our work here at FIA. In this very important and timely interview, she talks about the struggle at hand for better education in Oakland and what that fight has cost her personally. This was recorded less than two months before her untimely passing. We couldn't think of a better tribute.
