In this powerful and heartfelt episode, sit down with Candace Johnson, a proud U.S. Army veteran who served as a Human Resources Specialist from 2009-2013. Candace shares her story of growing up in a small town in Western Washington, her decision to join the military after the impact of 9/11, and the challenges she faced as a female soldier. She opens up about her difficult experiences with sexual harassment and assault during her service, and how she has chosen to grow from those moments rather than let them define her. She will be discussing how her military journey shaped her and helped her discover her true purpose: serving veterans.
