My granny is taking me on THE WALK. “Because leaders are not born,” she says. “They’re made through molding and modeling.” “What’s the walk?” I ask. “You’ll see. And there’s a few treasured souls
coming too.” Granny and her granddaughter are going on a walk. But this is not just any walk. It’s a walk that must not be missed, one that is more important than ever but has been made increasingly
difficult for many to participate in. It’s a walk that joins together a community, that lifts voices, that allows us to speak up, stand up, and say what’s on our minds. It’s a walk for hope. Where
are all these treasured souls going? Just walk on and find out.

"Emana Rachelle narrates this child’s-eye view of a walk (to the polls) with Granny. While acoustic guitar music plays, Rachelle cheerfully delivers a young Black girl's patter and questions as she tries to guess their destination. Granny’s responses sound kind and playful. Upbeat music and Rachelle’s smiling voice convey a positive sense of purpose and community to the tradition of bringing 'souls to the polls.'" - Audiofile Magazine —, Earphones Award
