Althea Williams, the Founder / CEO of She Vets It, a national woman veteran community that bridge the gap between women veterans, their families and veterans organizations, using TV and Podcast series to talk about business, mental health & wellness, and creative programs. Althea isn’t your average women combat veteran, she joined after having 20+ years of civilian work and graduate school after receiving her MBA degree, in leadership and management from the University of La Verne and B.A. Degree in Organizational Studies from Pitzer College, both in California. Althea is a retired Army Veteran, a wife, mother of five (5), grandmother of one (1), with a family lineage  of very successful serial entrepreneurs, community leaders, Olympic athletic, and generations of military veterans who served in every single war. After years of serving her community and the United States military, she vowed to spend the next chapter of her life to serve and inspire women veteran’s to push towards their purpose, after the uniform. In this episode we discuss She Vets It, mental health among veterans, ageism and gender bias in the military and the blessings of giving to others.
