Greeting Thought Partners,
Since we have begun our work to address poverty, there has been so many great articles/studies that have been published around our Big Issue of Poverty and all the things that hold people back from moving out of poverty.
Our Chair, Dr. Toya Barnes Teamer suggested that we share these with you. As you all know, she's an educator and believes strongly that knowledge is power. So if we are going to create sustainable solutions to address poverty we must increase our knowledge around this issue.
