Business Doing Good w/ Cheryl Miller & Shannon Deer ’03
How might transferrable skills come from unexpected industries? Shannon Deer returns to Mays MasterCast as a guest with her co-author, Cheryl Miller. They discuss women Overcomers, pride in putting kids on a school bus, and helping businesses build the context for incarcerated individuals to succeed. They go in-depth on restorative justice, explaining how it can and does go beyond the criminal justice system. Shannon and Cheryl bring expertise around circles, responsibility, and accountability. They also share about how skills learned from the drug and sex industry have applicable benefits to the business world. Their advice to businesses: See the potential. Walk alongside the Overcomer to plug them in. To listeners: View Overcomers as asset-based over skills-based to engage women and elevate communities. Good Bull to you, Cheryl and Shannon for raising our awareness about this important and impactful group of people!
