Special Guest Mandy Carter Swerve South

Welcome to a special episode of Swerve South! Join Jaime for an inspirational conversation with Civil Rights Activist and founder of Southerners on New Ground, Mandy Carter. In this episode, Mandy tells a bit of her fascinating life story and offers a history lesson through the lens of her life and work for 50 years in Civil Rights movements. In addition to an exceptional history lesson, you’ll also hear a discussion of activism, coalition building, intentionality of organizing, and the power of sustained political activism. As a nod to the intentions of this podcast, Mandy and Jaime swerve their discussion to the south and consider homecoming for former southerners or people with familial roots in the regional south. They consider rebuilding the south as an inclusive space that works for all inhabitants. Listen to this episode and be inspired to consider the power of one. Ask yourself: “How do we stand up together?”
