Kathy Horton, president of the Southern Pearls Miami-Dade chapter of the Top Ladies of Distinction, is the guest on the latest episode of “The Empowerment Zone,” a video podcast hosted by Harold Ford. The conversation covers community service, voter engagement and youth empowerment across South Miami-Dade.
Horton said the chapter wants residents to know it is active in the area and focused on its mission. The episode walks through the chapter’s five programmatic thrusts, including voter registration and civic education, the Top Teens program for young people, and scholarship awareness with a focus on historically Black colleges and universities.
The discussion also touches on support for seniors on fixed incomes and on partnerships with other nonprofits. The show’s description says the chapter aims to meet residents where they are, one program, partnership and registered voter at a time.
The episode is available on the Community Newspapers video page, and the show’s host says more local leaders will be featured in future installments.
