The Dynamic Etta King Talks Shop: Education, Feminism, JWA As Bridge
Etta tells all about her job as JWA's Education Program Manager--the joys, the challenges, and in the process imparts stellar professional advice.
Once upon a time Etta wondered: "Is JWA for me?" The answer: a resounding YES! Find out why... and why JWA is for YOU.
Etta talks feminism: "There's this idea that feminism has 'happened' already. Or that feminism is something that fit within a box. How JWA thinks about feminism really falls under this broader umbrella of inclusion-- everyone has a story and everyone's story needs to be told in order to create a complete picture of who we are."
