In this week’s episode of Aspire, Executive Director of I Have the Right To, Katie Shipp and Co-Founder of I Have the Right To, Susan Prout, welcome Mal Wrenn Corbin, author of Raising Wrens. Mal shares her journey from a turbulent childhood in Worcester, Massachusetts, to becoming a first-generation college graduate and a leader in the financial services industry.
Her memoir, Raising Wrenns, intertwines personal history with the resilience of the wren—a bird as tough and adaptable as her family. Mal recounts the challenges of growing up in Worcester’s Main South neighborhood, the loss of her father to violence, and her brother’s tragic suicide. She reflects on the power of reclaiming her past and the healing process of writing her story.
Join us for an inspiring conversation about survival, family bonds, and finding beauty in hardship.
