In this episode, Marcus talks with Clemmie Greenlee, Founder and CEO of Nashville Peacemakers/Mothers Over Murder.
Clemmie was raised in an environment where poverty and violence were commonplace, and personally suffered the horrors of human sex trafficking that resulted in years of drug addiction, homelessness, prostitution and frequent incarceration. Since being rescued from the streets by the Magdalene House of Nashville, she has been tirelessly “paying it forward”—with a long list of accomplishments that include helping to establish Eden House in New Orleans (working to end sex trafficking), preventing dozens of gang retaliatory shootings, and supporting the basic needs of the homeless, the imprisoned and those disadvantaged by birth and geography.
In addition to being honored as “Nashvillian of the Year" by the Nashville Scene and receiving a coveted Soros Justice Fellowship grant for her innovative approach to violence prevention, Greenlee has been bestowed numerous awards for her work from organizations that include Bank of America, Philadelphia-based Mothers in Charge, the Tennessee NAACP, and Nashville-based Community A.L.E.R.T. and The Wesley Foundation Campus Ministry.

From Rhonda:
"I was born and raised in Nashville, TN, where I still reside. I am a mother to a handsome young man whom I adore. I love God, my family, friends and Art. I am a self-taught artist that believes every one on this planet has an artist inside of them waiting to come out and be creative in their own way.
I have always been "art driven", sketching and drawing, designing, however, I decided to pick up a paintbrush in 2013, and the rest is history. Because I am a self taught artist, I enjoy teaching others art, as well as creating masterpieces. Whether I bless your home or office with my own art, or I assist you in creating your own masterpiece at your Sip and Paint, it is a blessing to me as well. Welcome to my world where creativity meets vision one stroke at a time!"
