On this episode of Representing Equity, Dan Kimbrough sits down with Amber Viola, Navy veteran, published author, podcaster, and unapologetic advocate for marginalized communities.

From “accidentally” joining the navy to launching podcasts and publishing a memoir, Amber walks us through how her lived experiences as a Black queer woman and veteran have fuel her entrepreneurial vision.

She shares how her time in the navy and the ordeals she’s survived have helped shaped her brand, her business, and her belief in equity. Whether she’s hosting Politics But Make It Fashion, writing about Life in the VA, or at the latest happening in Scranton, Amber is doing the work, loudly and authentically.
