Dr. Jeffreen M. Hayes, executive director of Threewalls, was recently interviewed as part of Authority Magazine’s series on women’s leadership, “Leading with Heart.” In addition to speaking about her own leadership style, she highlighted the holistic ways that Threewalls seeks to support its artists.
