Social Workers Learning to Earn Well While Doing Good
In 2013 after obtaining my second bachelor’s degree, in Psychology, I began my profession in the child welfare field as a licensing counselor for a faith-based child placement agency known as His House Children’s Home in Miami Florida. After 2 years with my agency, I knew there was a larger impact I wanted to make. There were insufficiencies that I saw in the field that weren’t being addressed as strategically as I felt they should have been. I also know that I would have to take a non-traditional track to do so. At this point, I moved back to Mississippi and got immediately active in developing myself into a social entrepreneur before I even realized it.
After developing the proper relationships, obtaining the right mentorship, and aligning myself with a successful business coach, I was able to start multiple social businesses, a non-profit organization, and multiple different mentoring programs over the past 3-5 years.

Since 2020 I’ve been able to help 20 individuals become business owners across multiple industries, but I want to laser my focus on the Social Work space.
