We were lucky to have been joined today by JaLisha Richmond, a young innovator and entrepreneur from Durham, North Carolina. JaLisha overcame tremendous obstacles in order to get where she is today. With all the options available to her, she has always been driven to purposeful work and decided to devote her work to helping others. After college, she joined AmeriCorps where she traveled the country helping to rebuild communities that were impacted from disasters and improving educational access. After traveling the country, JaLisha then returned to North Carolina to work at the Rural Economic Development Center, where she helps to empower small businesses.

JaLisha is also the CEO of Dream Catcher Consulting, a company that works to helps to keep small businesses running by offering affordable assistance in filing and other services related to keeping a business running effectively.

When she isn't doing non-profit work, she is an avid traveler. She has been to all 50 states  and has made an intentional path to see the world around her and bring that view back to her city.
