Show Notes

T. Michael Thomas, Founder of The People's Academy in Dorchester, joins Executive Director Tanisha Stephney on this week's show. They talk with Nichole about how the Academy works with disenfranchised young people in the city to teach them essential skills for the trades, and offers them life lessons to get them on a strong path for their future. Toni Eaton, the President and CEO of Old Colony Hospice in West Bridgewater, has details on their new "Threads Boutique" coming soon to Brockton. Profits from that store will help fund their new hospice home in Braintree.

Bonus stories this week from WBZ's Karyn Regal, Kim Tunnicliffe, and Shari Small!
