Kelli Gordon [Her Town Burned Down, Now She's Leading Its Comeback]

from Choose The Better Story Podcast · host Ryan Wright

In 2018, the Camp Fire erased an entire town. Homes gone. Schools destroyed. A community scattered overnight. Kelli Gordon's story starts long before the fire. Being adopted shaped how she sees identity, resilience, and belonging. Then came the ultimate test: leading students, families, and a community through loss, uncertainty, and the long road to rebuilding. This is a conversation about leadership when there’s no playbook, and what it looks like to lead in the midst of disaster. No doubt, Kelli Gordon is a local superhero committed to the community she loves.
