More Than This

Join host Danielle Prescod as we celebrate the everyday extraordinary possibilities that reveal themselves when we stop knocking on doors and start drawing our own. These are the stories of six people who went against the grain and created a new path for themselves in pursuit of More Than This. A podcast by Straight Talk Wireless, produced by Vox Creative in partnership with FRQNCY Media.
