Show Notes
At 55-years-old, Marie-Monique Marthol made a life-changing decision to change careers. She learned carpentry through Rebuild’s Workforce Development Program, where participants learn trade skills while revitalizing Philadelphia’s neighborhoods. Marie-Monique joins host Racquel Williams to talk about her experience. We also hear from Rebuild’s Director of Workforce Development, Tiffany Smith, about how Rebuild is bringing more women and people of color into the trades.
Then, on Shara in the City, we visit Broad Street Love, where they provide stabilizing services to those experiencing deep poverty. Shara steps into the shoes of a volunteer, serving restaurant-style meals to folks who have found an affirming and supportive community in this space.
