JEKALYN CARR | SheHH PODCAST S2E8 - GRAMMY-NOMINATED GOSPEL ARTIST, NEW ALBUM, GREENLEAF TV SHOW

The SheHH podcast is a podcast series all about Christian women in the front and behind the scenes of Christian music all over the world. The name is a play on the phrase CHH, which stands for Christian Hip Hop, but SheHH is for all genres (and all women!) within Christian music.  

Welcome to Series two, which is themed the Gritty Truths. We're speaking to amazing women and learning more about the realities of being called into music ministry, especially as a woman.   

In this episode, we are honoured to speak to the Grammy-nominated, multi-award winning American gospel singer and songwriter, Jekalyn Carr. She speaks about her new music, working on the show Greenleaf and flourishing in business and enterprise.
