Elevate with Shanequa Moore
This podcast, hosted by Shanequa E. Moore, elevates local voices through open conversations with leaders, educators, policymakers, political leaders, religious leaders, rising leaders, and law enforcement to shed light on issues that communities in Atlanta, Georgia face. It addresses topics, such as leadership, business, mental health, parenting, poverty, race, civic engagement, justice, social work, and more. Since 2013, Shanequa’s nonprofit, I’RAISE Girls & Boys International, has been on the ground transforming the way children & families of color are seen, heard, and treated. From pain to triumph, we seek to capture the “behind the scenes” experiences of ATL community members and collectively re-imagine an Atlanta community that represents a place of equity, power, and prominence for Black children and families.
