Ypsilanti Township’s We The People Opportunity Farm’s new Executive Director, LaWanda Hollister, says she will do all she can to carry forward the work of founder the late Melvin Parson but admits she has big shoes to fill. WEMU’s Kevin Meerschaert reports.

We the People Opportunity Farm has been giving formerly incarcerated and returning residents in our community a new path forward for years. The work continues, and now the nonprofit is in the process of expanding its outreach with a new café. WEMU's David Fair talked with founder and director Melvin Parson and about expansion and impact.
