A SHERO’s Journey: Rissi Palmer

When Rissi Palmer released her debut single "Country Girl" in 2007, she became the first black woman in 20 years to have a song on the Billboard Hot Country chart in 20 years. Little did she know that a decade and a half later, she would use her platform and experience in Nashville to be a champion for people of color in that space. Now the host of Color Me Country with Rissi Palmer on Apple Music, a CMT correspondent, among many other things Rissi is involved in, she has just put out a three-song EP aptly titled Still Here, and joins Carmel Holt for an in-depth conversation about her journey, the state of diversity and inclusion in Nashville, and the necessity of what she calls "ego death".
