What if a simple piece of jewelry could change a life? In this episode of Takin’ A Walk Nashville, host Sarah Harrelson sits down with Emily Winters, the inspiring CEO of Strings for Hope, a remarkable Nashville-based nonprofit that transforms recycled guitar strings into beautiful jewelry while providing employment opportunities for survivors of interpersonal violence.
