211. Good Humans of 2021 - Sue Ann Arnall

We Are For Good Podcast - The Podcast for Nonprofits

Meet Sue Ann. She's a mother, writer, philanthropist, humanitarian, justice warrior, and member of the Giving Pledge. Spending just a few minutes in Sue Ann's wake makes one acutely aware that she's always looking out for the little guy. The Arnall Family Foundation focuses on child welfare, animal welfare, and criminal justice reform, while Sue Ann focuses her personal passion on solutions that lower the incarceration rate and racial disparity among African American men in U.S. jails and prisons. Her class, warmth, grace, and compassion blew us away. Pretty proud to say this is a friend who represents the best of home. Thank you Sue Ann🙏
