In this episode, I chat with two of my start up clients about life as a nonprofit founder, lessons learned, services their organizations provide, and advice to other nonprofit founders.
Dahlia Freeman-Downs is the Founder & CEO of Seeds of Courage, Inc whose mission is to provide financial assistance to domestic violence victims to obtain financial freedom and independence. Dahlia was once a victim of domestic violence and did not know the full impact of her financial situation until she left her abuser. It wasn’t until she was left with no money and three children to provide for that she realized that there was a lack of services that provided financial assistance to victims of domestic violence.
Jamais Burts is the Founder & CEO of Bro Code Baltimore, Inc. Through Bro Code Baltimore K-12 students receive academic enrichment, life skills workshops, cultural enrichment, and comprehensive mentoring services. In 2011, she unfortunately loss her brother to gun violence. With this loss, she knew something greater had to come from her pain. After years of working with and for other nonprofits she decided it was time to start her own.
Tune in to hear their powerful journey of impact.
