Ms. Chenault’s story is the very definition of epic. I am in awe of her, her family, and their legacy.

Amazing podcast this week. Jill’s story was so enthralling. I sat in my car in the parking lot at work for 10 minutes because I couldn’t wait until after work to hear the end. The women in her family are my heroes!

Jill Chenault –

I do not know you. I have never met you. Yet, all of the EVERYTHING in your story IS my story. Your voice is light, breezy, beautiful – and to those of us who are familiar – unrelentingly formidable.

My story is the “Roadside Assistance” story after yours in the Black Lives Matter Series.
Thank you so much for sharing. I’m going to have a very long talk with Kevin about your story. It did all of the things a Risk story is supposed to do – and then some.
