Season 2, Episode 18: Homelessness is not Hopelessness

Topic: Did you know African Americans make up more than 40% of the homeless population?! Nearly half of homeless are families with children. Specifically in the Dallas and surrounding counties, these numbers are growing, even in cities that previously sighted no homeless populations. While cities boast of resources to assist providing shelters, the tone of ‘our neighbors’ are vastly different than what we see and hear. The challenge to overcome the odds is an uphill battle. Some survive, some don’t.  Today, we want the challenges and inspiration behind this topic, homeless to entrepreneur, with our guest momologist, Chef Sonya Dorsey.   Guest Momologist: Chef Dorsey is the Executive Chef and Lead Chef Instructor for the new CitySquare Café located in the Opportunity Center on Malcolm X Blvd.Chef Dorsey found herself and her four children in an abusive relationship in Louisiana.
