As an additional departure from our regular format and a preview of our off-season episodes, Candice Mayhill reads her powerful blog post, My Big Fat Community College: A love letter to my community and its college. She and host Dan Baum then discuss what inspired her, what she learned, and of course, how she redefined herself.
