“It’s like a pendulum,” she says. “At some point, it swings and you think things will really change, but then it kind of swings back the other way. But that doesn’t mean you stop trying to make change happen.” Sarah Ann Shaw. Industry trailblazer, journalist, civil rights activist, humanitarian, family matriarch, mentor. Thank you.
