Episode 80: The Power of Community with Sondra Samuels

Lisa Christianson

What if real change doesn’t come from one organization—but from an entire community moving together?

Sondra Samuels, President and CEO of the Northside Achievement Zone, shares her remarkable journey—from corporate leadership and Peace Corps service to building one of the country’s most collaborative, community-driven models of support. She unpacks the importance of building community-wide systems of support, that belief and visibility are crucial in a child's success, and how one act of kindness creates lasting ripple effects.
