Tune into Treasury Talk with your host, Michigan Treasurer Rachael Eubanks
Join MI State Treasurer Rachael Eubanks and her guests, Ashley Kuykendoll and State Senator Sarah Anthony, for a special edition of the podcast to acknowledge the second anniversary of the “Creating a Respectful and Open World for Natural Hair” (CROWN) Act legislation. The CROWN Act expanded the state’s Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act and banned race-based hair discrimination in the state of Michigan.
AND at MINUTE 13:49, Senator Anthony gives listeners the backstory on what it took to get the bill she sponsored signed into legislation, and why she didn't give up on the CROWN Act.
Podcast host Rachael Eubanks was appointed as Michigan's 47th State Treasurer by Governor Gretchen Whitmer in January of 2019. Treasurer Eubanks is committed to building Treasury's culture of service to Michiganders through continuous improvement and employee engagement, which are the foundation of Treasury's mission to provide fair and efficient financial services to all taxpayers for the long-term fiscal health and stability of our state.
