Interview of Timothy C. Sansone by Teresa Hawley-Howard, domestic violence survivor and women’s empowerment speaker, author, and CASA volunteer
On January 10, I had the pleasure of talking with women’s empowerment advocate Teresa Hawley-Howard on her program Words Have Power, Use Them Wisely.
Teresa is the co-author and compiler of Women on a Mission: Stories of Trials, Tribulation & Triumphs. She is a strong advocate for women’s empowerment through her writing, speaking, and volunteering as a court-appointed special advocate (CASA) for children.

The 9-minute interview is available here:
I enjoyed the opportunity to meet and talk with Teresa, and I hope you enjoy the interview.
