Episode 88: The Challenges and Excitement of Starting a Foundation with Nakia Sanford

Nakia Sanford is a former professional basketball player who is passionate about giving back to her community. Her mission is to give young people the tools they need to live mentally, emotionally and physically healthy lives through her non-profit programs. As a money management coach, her mission is to impact generations of families by teaching financial literacy. Her devotion grew from being able to relate to the struggles of growing up in poverty. Living in public housing in Decatur, Ga., she experienced first-hand what a lack of information, opportunity and direction looks like. Therefore, everyday of her life, she pursues a dream of helping other people elevate their situation financially and creating legacies in their families. As an athlete, she learned leadership and work ethic. She has transferred her lessons of integrity and teamwork into her new profession. In business, she will help train an army of informed, capable, educated entrepreneurs one family at a time. She believes our country has become a slave to debt as part of our social DNA. She believes it must stop if we are to save the dwindling working class in our country and has sought out to do so by enabling people with education, empowerment and financial freedom.  Contact Nakia: Website: www.nakiasanford.net  Email: [email protected]  Read more at http://athletesaseducators.libsyn.com/size/25/?search=nakia#Cerx9xdBZu7O4gu0.99   Connect with Angie: IG & Twitter: Angie_R_Lewis Facebook: Angie R Lewis
