We started the week with DGFG Live, #VolunteersWithAVoice Story Hour with Bianca Banks. Bianca Banks is a businesswoman, speaker, community advocate, philanthropist, and radio personality. She hosts “The MND Show” on Dash Radio. With her daughter, Jasmine Shannon, as her co-host, they focus on current events and powerful topics.
Bianca joined us for a reading of Happy Mardi Gras by Cornell Landry, a book that celebrates Mardi Gras and its history in the South. We discussed the beauty of Mardi Gras and everything that goes into celebrating it. Bianca also touched on the work she does through her foundation. The Banks Family Foundation aims to help facilitate those that want to have a career in the medical field but don’t have the tools, whether it is financial or information. The foundation chooses a student every year that has expressed interest in the medical field. They help guide the chosen student through the process and have a scholarship in Bianca’s father’s name which helps with the student’s tuition.
