In this month’s episode, we discuss self-care, art, activism, and the mission for a better future with Eva Maria Lewis, a creative and award-winning human rights advocate from the South Side of Chicago championing Black women and communities affected by gun violence.
A self-titled socio-cultural architect, Eva Maria founded what would become Free Root Operation when she was a high schooler. As Executive Director of FRO, she works to intercept poverty-induced gun violence in her city through community-centered innovation, with a special intention toward the wellness and empowerment of Black women.
Listen in as we talk about the importance of prioritizing self-care and finding joy in everyday moments in the final installment of our #SoftGirlSummer series.
