Discover the untold challenges of generational poverty and how it shapes the educational journey of countless children. I'm Dr. Lisa Hassler, and in a heartfelt conversation with Michael Coleman, CEO of Heart of Alabama Food Bank, we peel back the layers of societal norms and hidden barriers that dictate the success or failure of our youth in the classroom. This episode promises to alter your perspective, unpacking how generational poverty affects everything from financial literacy to classroom dynamics.
Embarking on this narrative adventure, Michael Coleman, with his rich background transitioning from military service to nonprofit leadership, brings to light the nuances of poverty that often go unnoticed.

By the end of this episode, you'll be equipped with new insights into the complex relationship between poverty and education. We'll share inspiring stories of resilience and adaptation, challenging educators and nonprofit workers to grow personally and professionally.
