Elizabeth P., PhD - Founder, Chair, Author & Advocate for Youth Empowerment
My mission at One Hope For Kidz is simple: ensure no child is left behind in our digital world. We’ve already launched five computer labs—with number six on the horizon—and continue to provide life-changing tuition assistance to students in need.
To fuel this work, I’ve dedicated all proceeds from my book, Entrepreneurial Resilience, to our foundation. It’s a dual-purpose project: it equips entrepreneurs to survive and thrive during adversity, while simultaneously funding the classrooms and scholarships these kids deserve.
