In a new episode of "The Hope People" podcast from Belmont University's President Dr. Greg Jones, Davidson County Chancellor I'Ashea Myles shares her journey of studying vocal performance at Belmont to becoming the first Black female civil trial court judge in Davidson County. The episode covers the power of authenticity and representation as a model for future leaders who may not see immediate representation in their chosen fields, the importance of maintaining relationships with mentors as a catalyst for growth, and the resilience and perseverance needed in the face of challenges. Myles says, “I hope that I inspire grit and tenacity to say ‘you can do it’ even when you've not seen someone do it before.” Listen to the episode here.
