S3 Ep185: Barbara Williams: Sober In Colour

Over The Influence: The Alcohol Free Podcast

In this episode we welcome the fantastic Barbara Williams on to the podcast!
Barbara is using her sobriety to try and encourage more women of colour to make the choice to quit alcohol through her online profile @sober_in_colour.
Barbara has been sober now for a few years and noticed while attending sober events that there were not very many ethnically diverse women in the room. She wants to help change that by using her voice to sing about the joys of sobriety and encourage more people to quit drinking.
Thank you to Barbara for coming on to the podcast and if you would like to find out more about Sober In Colour, you can visit Barbara's Instagram page or she also has a private Facebook group under the same name.
