Women of Influence Edition Feat. Director of Covenant House of MI - Meagan Dunn

Thinking Out Loud Radio Show

This week we continue our Women of Influence Series with an exciting and empowering interview with the Director of the Covenant House of Michigan, Megan Dunn. Meagan Dunn joined Covenant House Michigan (CHMI) in July 2022. She comes to CHMI from YWCA Kalamazoo where she was vice president of programs since 2020, managing a $10 million program budget and a team of more than 100 program staff. In her role as Executive Director, Meagan provides leadership to the staff in both Detroit and Grand Rapids locations. Under Meagan’s leadership, the staff delivers high-quality programs and services to help young people achieve housing stability, heal from trauma, and hone their interests and skills to forge new pathways to independence. For her work as the Exec. Dir of CHMI, Meagan recently received a Spirit of Detroit Award from the Detroit’s City Council. In tonight's interview we talk about her extensive work serving others, and helping to eradicate the growing problem of youth homelessness in City of Detroit & Grand Rapids, as well as the State of Michigan.

Also, as we continue our Women's History Month Celebration, we could not think of a better example of a powerful Women of Influence than Former First Lady Michelle Obama. We share her final official address as the First Lady of these United States to educators and young people across the country and the world. Her message will serve as this episode's Thought of the Week. Needless to say, we've got a great show and interview in store for you this week. This show is definitely appointment listening!
