The homeless person's perspective & how public perception affects us all

In this episode Derek talks with Mandie Hicks who works in the Transitional Program at The Connecting Ground's Community Outreach Center. 

Mandie used to be homeless but after she got back on her feet she began her work helping others who are currently experiencing homelessness.

We talk about her history with homelessness, how being on the streets affects one's perspective, how public perception of those experiencing homelessness affects both parties, and how small acts can make a big difference.
