Amy is the executive director of the Arkansas Access to Justice Commission. She is also running for circuit court judge in the Sixth Judicial District, which covers Pulaski and Perry Counties. We cover a lot in this episode!
Uppity Women is hosted by Stephanie Harris, founder of Women Lead Arkansas, a non-partisan nonprofit whose mission is to empower women and girls to engage in politics, policy, and leadership.
This podcast is meant to showcase women (and men!) doing cool things; be a place for hard conversations we need to have before we can make progress (race, politics, feminism, etc.); bring people together to figure sh!t out and get stuff done; and generally thumb our noses at anyone who would tell us what we may or may not do as women.
