S1. EP.1 - I'm Quitting My Job, Mom

The very first episode of It Takes A Village is a conversation I had with my mom, Tsegga Medhin. We see entrepreneurship differently, and in this podcast, we dive into our generational and geographical differences that shaped our perspectives. "You want the best for your child, and sometimes maybe our best is not your best, and that's where we were caught..." You'll hear about how my mom felt when I quit my job and how she's been able to support me as a creative child. As a Computer Science graduate of National College and Executive Leadership alumna of UCLA Anderson School of Management, my mom is a renowned speaker and thought leader on capacity building and social innovation for women and girls in STEAM careers. She's the founder of The Pearl Leadership Institute and the President of UN Women USA NC, where she empowers women every day. We'll also explore her unique Eritrean American immigrant perspective and her passion for education, poverty reduction, and shared prosperity. Join us for an insightful conversation on purposeful living and empowering women. You can follow my mom's journey on Twitter @TseggaM.
