In the midst of the pandemic, how many of you are reevaluating your lives and considering making dramatic changes? Today’s Yes, and Café guest is someone who did just that. After Law School, Xan Marshall secured a series of what may sound like dream jobs, working for firms in New York City and Washington DC in medical malpractice and corporate law. It wasn’t a good fit, so she bravely embarked on a new path. “I quit kind of abruptly, took a year to travel the world. During that year I just decided to dive deep into myself and figure out what it is that I care about and what it is that I want to put out into the world… and that is social advocacy and civil rights.” Today Xan does transformational work with the Reform Alliance, an organization started by rappers Jay-Z and Meek Mill that focuses on reducing the number of people under control of the US criminal justice system--currently 6.6 million. We are joined in this episode by recent UNCG graduate Tsion Hailu.
