#14 When the Odds are Stacked Against You… with Ann Brandon-consultant, change maker and bad ass human
There is a difference between surviving and living. Some people have the odds stacked against them, and they not only live–but thrive. The road to get to this place is not easy. It requires something special to break the patterns of the past and carve out a meaningful life that is perfect for you.

Today she is an integral force in creating cultural change and measurable prevention of sexual assault, dating, stalking, and bullying at Ohio University.
Join us for a conversation about the windy road that led her to become the bad ass human and change maker she is today!
