Women's History Month- honoring Erica Turner

 Shining a spotlight on women (WHM)....

Erica Turner: honest, passionate, social justice seeker, artist, and easy to talk to, a few words that describe her.
She's a nurse by trade and currently works in I.T ( also a smart cookie!)
I met Erica when I photographed her for Love Wisconsin.
She runs a podcast with co-host Heidi Wheeler called Bridge The Divide. She's incredibly easy to talk to and especially about race relations and issues.
Bridge the Divide is a grassroots effort that began in a small suburb of Milwaukee ( Cedarburg) They provide a forum for discussion and action around racial repair, reconstruction, and eventually, reconciliation. They're passionate advocates for treating all humanity with love and respect and hope that through education, proximity, and discussion, they can help foster empathy and decrease fear.

Erica and Heidi appeared in TIME Magazine( March 2020). Well deserved recognition! That's my head shot of Erica in Time!
