This year, WJCT News partnered with StoryCorps for the One Small Step initiative. We paired local people from different backgrounds and political views to have conversations. This excerpt is the final piece in our weekly radio series.

Ursula Baker and Pamela Rhett both say big life events have shaped their politics. 

Ursula is having a tough time finding work during a pandemic, while Pamela’s father was shot and paralyzed from the waist down when he was in his 30s.

StoryCorps’ One Small Step is made possible in part by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, a private corporation funded by the American people.
