Show Notes

As we unravel Erika Hill's story, most of the accounts so far amplify her life in the midst of abuse and neglect. So much so it begs the question, "Was Erika's life always that way?" 

This week we talk with Mr. & Mrs. Davis, former educators & directors of the African American Ethnic Academy (Madison, WI) who met Erika when she first arrived in Wisconsin. It is a heartbreaking conversation of "what could have been," yet a helpful discussion of the essence of a young girl with a brilliant light.
