Episode 74, part 1: Driven to Succeed Interview w/ Shelburne, Ontario Deputy Mayor Steve Anderson
On part 1 of this week’s episode, we’re proud to welcome Deputy Mayor Steve Anderson of Shelburne, Ontario back to The Drip.
In his autobiography, Driven to Succeed, Shelburne, Ontario Deputy Mayor Steve Anderson tells his story of growing up as a "Finch man" (a resident of the Jane and Finch community) and fighting through daunting odds in order to pursue his legal education, leading to him becoming the first Black lawyer ever hired by the TTC, and the first Black person ever elected as Shelburne deputy mayor and regional councillor.
Steve's story is a powerful and inspirational one that reminds us that it’s not about how we start, it’s about how we finish that defines our legacy.
