"From Financial Failure to Community Transformation | Patricia Ashanti, Delta Circles, Inc.
Manage episode 498248858 series 3678185
Patricia Ashanti has a vision that won't quit. After a financial mistake at McDonald's opened her eyes to the economic exploitation happening in her community, she spent over a decade building something powerful in the Arkansas Delta. Since founding Delta Circles in 2013, she's taught financial literacy to hundreds of families, secured a 20-acre school campus for 50 years at no cost, and created an innovation hub that's bringing technology, entrepreneurship, and hope back to Helena-West Helena.
In this episode, she talks about the car accident that changed everything, why she chose nonprofit over business, the compliance mistake that nearly shut her down, and the storytelling exercise that helped her finally see herself as the leader she'd always been.
