We have a LIFE changing episode this week for episode 166 of The Hidden Workforce!
Well- this episode could be life-changing for your loved one who lives with a disability!
This week, we welcome Dr. Chrisann Schiro-Geist and Patrick Krolik with the University of Memphis Institute on Disability! 🐅
They discuss the amazing success of their Inclusive Higher Education program “TigerLIFE” (in context to Oklahoma, think OU Sooner Works, OSU Operation Orange Scholars, and NSU RiverHawk Scholars!).
The LIFE in TigerLIFE stands for Learning Independence, Fostering Employment & Education- and they do that and more at the University of Memphis and their Institute on Disability. Research, Inclusion, and a 70% employment placement rate upon graduation- tune in to hear about this as well as Rehabilitation Services, “Ticket to Work,” and more!

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
