Sister Sharpens Sister

Karen Vaughn, Dalena Smith and Shelon Milligan

Our podcast is inspired by Proverbs 27:17, which states, 'As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.' We hold the belief that when we come together and discuss our goals, we have the power to sharpen each other's abilities to help us become the women we aspire to be. Real sisters. Real talk. Real life. We cover an array of topics including family, relationships, literature, marriage, children, and a whole lot more! Formally known as: MY STRONG SISTERS read less

Additives: Part 2 with special guest Arnie Vaughn
Today, we wrap up our discussion on the state of food in America. Where do we lay the blame for how far things have gone? The people, government, lobbyist, food manufacturers?

We are not sponsored or affiliated with the apps we discuss in this episode, but we are definitely fans of both! Be sure to SUBSCRIBE so you don't miss a thing! See you soon!
