As many of you know, I’ve spent my entire adult life promoting equality and justice. I put in the hours to get my law degree and pass the bar specifically to try to help right the wrongs in the world. That being said, I’m not all serious all the time. I like to be silly, too. That’s why I was so excited to be one of the first guests on the new Conversations with Nick Thompson podcast.
I’ve been so drawn to podcasting lately. I find that it’s a great way to dive into some powerful life themes, lessons, and ideas in a way that’s both informative and entertaining. It also takes the pressure off, as well because it just feels like a conversation.

Meet Jesyka Harris & Rhiannon Dourado of Cause Together. Cause Together was created to make it a very turn-key experience for anyone to bring more social good into their community. With in-person fundraising events currently cancelled due to the pandemic, nonprofits across all areas need our support now more than ever. Additionally, many people want to support social causes, but it can be time-consuming and difficult to figure out which nonprofits are a fit. It’s even harder to figure out how to share on social media, with community and with friends & family.
If you’ve been a part of my journey through the years, you know that I’m passionate about law and activism. I believe the two go hand in hand. We can use the law to help make the world a better place.
