Program Description

Body

In celebration of Black History Month, Brenda Tate will be here to discuss her life serving for 40 years as one of the first female African American Police officers in Pittsburgh and her struggle with alcohol and drugs for 20 of those years. After her recovery she rose to protect dignitaries including Presidents and Rosa Parks. She is living proof that you can triumph over even the most incredible odds and that you need not be defined by your mistakes. She is a revered community leader who hopes that her story will be a source of inspiration to others. Join us for her fascinating journey.
