In this episode, Executive Director of the Center for People, Macala Carter, joins me for a powerful and deeply human conversation about the realities of poverty—and the lived experiences that shaped her path to leadership.

Macala doesn’t just lead an organization serving thousands of families; she’s walked many of the same roads herself. She opens up about her own history with poverty, the moments that tested her, and the purpose that emerged from both pain and resilience. We talk about the mission of the Center for People, the critical work they’re doing in our community, and what it really means to serve with empathy, dignity, and lived understanding.

This episode is an invitation to see beyond statistics and into the stories that fuel meaningful change.
