Moving People Out of Poverty

Hosts Celeste Carey and Cecil Prescod speak with Lynda Coates about moving out of poverty and about some upcoming institutes on learning how to move people out of povery.

Quoting Donna Beegle, founder of Communications Across Barriers, "My dream is that a person will not be able to graduate from college without taking a Poverty 101 course. Poverty hurts all humanity and it’s the responsibility of everyone to bond together to eradicate it. Our ignorance about poverty perpetuates it and divides us as a nation."

Lynda has a Master’s Degree in Communication from Portland State University and has been speaking and training for more than nine years across the country.
