A great short video from our friends at the @USConvoProject
We asked students at the University of Mississippi (@OleMissRebels ) what it means to #ListenFirst - here is what they had to say! #ListenFirstFriday
Thanks to @peppertaylor94 and @bsrippee of @umjourimc for help with the video this week! youtu.be/g3IZa4oa_Ks
