Why it’s ok to not agree with everyone or sugarcoat things with Annie Bowles
Today’s guest is Annie Bowles. She’s the founder of Sugarfree Media & host of the News Du Jour podcast. She graduated from American University in Washington DC after interning in both the Senate and the House of Representatives on Capitol Hill. Coming home to the heartland, she grappled with the need to pull women into the political landscape as well as the lack of reliable news and news geared towards young women. She made it her mission to help fill those needs and never looked back. Let’s not be afraid to speak our truth and to stop sugar-coating everything we say.
