She also reflects on the challenges she’s faced and the achievements she’s proud of despite them.The conversation wraps up with a look at Corinne’s role in the Youth250 Bureau and how that opportunity came to be, before she turns the tables and asks the hosts to share their own favorite ways to stay civically engaged.
