Pretty Strong Podcast

Hey there! Welcome to Pretty Strong hosted by Sherri Whitley Jernigan. I’m so excited that you are joining me in this new chapter. I am a 30 year veteran educator having taught students from Pre-K to Adult. This podcast is all about celebrating the incredible strength, resilience, and creativity of women from different walks of life. We’re diving into their stories, the challenges they’ve faced, and the victories they’ve achieved in their communities and beyond. I want to share their journeys, passions, and their visions for the future. Pretty Strong is dedicated to sharing stories of the amazing women out there who’ve tackled obstacles, shattered barriers, and made a positive impact. Each woman has a unique story to tell, and I’m here to amplify those voices. We’re delving into the human side, highlighting the value, intelligence, and creativity of women. So, grab a seat and join me every week for a new episode of Pretty Strong. These stories are meant to inspire and empower you to embrace your strength and live your best life.
