S4, E8: Tarnesha Nickens - Legacy of a Firecracker

About this episode

Tarnesha Nickens shares her impactful story and the legacy she is building in her community.

Season 4, Episode 8: Tarnesha Nickens is a firecracker! That is said probably ten times on this episode of The Front Porch . After hearing her story and all the ways she is giving back in Melissa, Texas, you understand how fitting that title truly is. She gets stuff done, and her driving force revolves around legacy. During our conversation, she said: "Sometimes your legacy is not always with the next generation - with your children - it's what your handprint has left in the community that you're in." That one was one of many "drop the mic" moments on this episode. #frontporch Links: City of Melissa: Website Music: https://www.purple-planet.com
