Accelerate Access Episode 006 - Boldness with Anaisa Tate, 2018 Nyah Project Fellow
Welcome to a new episode of Accelerate Access: The Podcast! We share stories of how access to opportunity changes lives. Hosted by Nyah Project founder, Leigh-Ann Buchanan, the podcast provides an inside look into the transformational journeys of our Nyah Fellows as they navigate college, careers, and personal growth as young leaders in the community.
Anaisa Tate, 2018 Nyah Fellow, doula and nursing student, sits down with Leigh-Ann to discuss boldness to challenge societal norms, young motherhood, and the people and places that pushed her into her destiny. Also find out why Leigh-Ann called Anaisa a “young revolutionary” after their first meeting, and more.
"Now I see there's so much opportunity, and to be able to really help women who look like me, who don't have access to the resources to have a healthy labor, to have a healthy pregnancy. It's just…I see the need for it, and I might as well just stand in the gap.”
