In this episode of the Metroscope, I am joined by my esteemed colleague, Jolene Jones, who defines herself as an activist, first and foremost. I ask Jolene about how she defines leadership and what is needed to be a leader to her community. We also explore some of the many ways that an advocate becomes a leader and how Jolene's journey of life-long learning has shaped her understanding of herself as a leader.
