Welcome to another episode of Revolution Tea!! In today’s episode, you will hear from one of the most driven and strongest women I’ve ever met, Jyrah Knight. How many people do you know deal with not one but two autoimmune diseases and still perseveres to finish undergrad, go on to attain a master’s degree then startup a non-profit and educate the masses on a key drug that was touted by twice impeached president Trump as a lifesaver for COVID-19. She has met many challenges and instead of wishing they were not hers, she faces them head-on. 3 words to sum up this episode: Resilience, Relentless, and Overcoming. If you’re ready, grab your tea, and let’s start a revolution!! What will you hear? What does it take to be revolutionary? Does Jyrah feel as if she is revolutionary?
