From Poverty To Prosperity: A CEO's Guide to Fighting Poverty Through Business, Leadership, and Innovation

Poverty is one of the greatest challenges of our time — but it is not unbreakable. Leaders can end it.

In From Poverty to Prosperity, award-winning CEO and changemaker Dr. Tekemia Dorsey delivers a bold challenge and a practical blueprint for leaders and aspiring leaders ready to move beyond managing poverty’s symptoms to dismantling its causes.

Drawing from decades of hands-on experience in business, education, workforce development, and community transformation, Dr. Dorsey introduces her proven Vision → Action → Impact framework — a leadership model that has helped turn struggling communities into thriving hubs of opportunity.
