Women’s History Month celebrates the contributions women have made in our history and the contributions they continue to make today. This year’s theme is “Celebrating Women Who Tell Our Stories.” In this episode, we interview Cathy Howard, a trailblazer who held many significant roles in her life. She broke barriers and helped pave the way for other women; her journey was not easy, but her perseverance and dedication led her to overcome countless obstacles.
