In this episode, we had a lovely chat with the very beautiful Danielle Hughes, former News Anchor, now Co-Founder of Detroit Speaks, a rising non-profit organization with a mission of inspiring youth in Metro Detroit to increase social awareness, community involvement, and achieve their dreams.

In 2015, she created the "Oh, the places you'll go!" vision board series for youth ages 13-18 to define their goals and dreams, build a personal vision board and prepare for their future. Since it's inception, the series has partnered with the Augusta-Richmond County Library to hold monthly workshops and was the headlining event for the world renowned Augusta Literary Festival this year. Danielle is a proud member of the National Association of Black Journalists and a current contributor for Black Enterprise Magazine.
