About this listen

Melissa and Chandra sit down with the trailblazing Tekesha A. Martinez, Hagerstown, Maryland's first Black woman mayor, to dive into her incredible journey from local schools to city hall. Raised in the Washington County Foster Care system, Tekesha's story is one of resilience and leadership. Before becoming mayor in 2023, she made her mark as a City Council member, a poet, and dedicated community mediator. In this episode, Tekesha shares her wisdom on staying cool under pressure, fostering diversity and making a meaningful impact, especially as women in the business community. Plus, we get the scoop on her signature pink fashion statement - what's the story behind those vibrant pink shoes and blazer? And of course, we explore what 'colaboration over competition' means to Tekesha.
