  • The Power of Music
    Oct 24 2023
    Episode 124: In this enlightening podcast episode, we dive deep into the world of music and its power to transform lives, specifically young girls. Our guest is Amanda Ashley from Girls Rock Rochester, a non-profit that uses music to instill confidence in girls and guide them through the often male-dominated music industry. Amanda shares the inspiring stories of Mike and Rebecca, two apprentices from Homesteads for Hope, who went from exploring their passion for music to forming their own band, all under the supportive environment of Girls Rock Rochester. We discuss the crucial role of respect, acceptance, and empowerment in fostering inclusivity and how music can serve as a bridge in a world teeming with differences. Join us on this empowering musical journey where we're not just hitting the right notes, but also transforming lives along the way.
