Welcome to FunTimes Exchange, the podcast where every voice matters! Today we're exploring how one woman's unexpected journey into public service is transforming an entire county. "If you'd asked me 10 years ago if I'd be in politics, I would've said 'No.' My goal was to be a dean by 40." Those are the words of Dr. Monica Taylor, the first African American Chair of Delaware County Council in Pennsylvania.
From professional basketball player in Europe to leading over 575,000 residents, her path combines athletic discipline, academic rigor, and maternal wisdom. Today, we'll explore how she's reimagining inclusive governance, establishing Pennsylvania's first new county health department in decades, tackling housing crises, and addressing maternal health disparities.
This is about leadership that prioritizes listening and the profound impact one person can have when they lead with both heart and data. Join us for an inspiring conversation about community-centered governance on this edition of FunTimes Exchange.
