NEW YEAR, NEW CHALLENGES… and the Tenth Voice has a group of people to chat about it all!
Michael Poppa was the chair for Equality Kansas and was a strong advocate for Roeland Park’s anti-discrimination ordinance, which passed in 2014. The next year, Poppa ran for a seat on Roeland Park’s City Council — beat his opponent by just five votes. A former member of The Tenth Voice team, it is exciting to welcome Michael back on the air!
