In this third installment of Third Settlements' special series on mission-driven, social impact leaders of color navigating these uncertain times, Dax speaks with Chastity Lord.

Chastity Lord. Chastity has dedicated her life to disrupting systems of inequity through a social justice lens in an effort to bridge the opportunity gap. Chastity is currently President and CEO of the Jeremiah Program, a leader in two-generation programming aimed at disrupting generational poverty for single mothers and their children. Before joining JP she gained a unique blend of practitioner and national leadership experience through her roles at the Achievement First Network, Color of Change and the Posse Foundation where I had the honor of first meeting and working with her over a decade ago. 

Notably, Chastity is a 2012 Pahara-Aspen Fellow with the Aspen Global Leadership Network and serves on the board of the Shriver National Center on Poverty and Law.
