Why Freedom Communities?
“A Chetty Study that listed Charlotte last among leading US Cities in upward mobility was a call for many business and nonprofit leaders to lean more heavily into social justice and community development issues. After seeing this study, I knew I had to get more directly involved with intractable social issues, with the goal to make a permanent dent in intergenerational poverty. This began a conversation, which eventually led to the formation of Freedom Communities in 2017.”
