Join Shante K. Avant, President & CEO of the Women’s Foundation for a Greater Memphis, on The Sidebar Podcast with Eric Barnes!

The show explores community, arts, culture, and everything in between—while Shante shares WFGM’s impact over 30 years, including $37 million invested since 1995 to support the social and economic mobility of women and children in Memphis.

Shante and Eric discuss:
• How fierce leadership from WFGM's Board of Directors and Trustees is moving the city forward
• How WFGM’s public-private partnerships are revitalizing neighborhoods
• Supporting families with a Two-Generation Approach—from education and job skills to wraparound services
• Programs launched during COVID, including Mobile Food Drives and Digital Inclusion Initiatives
• Creating thriving communities in historically underserved areas through comprehensive, long-term strategies
