Hi,
I'm Dr. Beegle
Do you know why these poverty trainings are so powerful?
...beacause I myself was born into generational, migrant labor poverty and have first-hand experience of its limitations and misperceptions. I am the only member of my family who has not been incarcerated. I left school at 15 for marriage and began raising two children while continually fighting poverty. At 25, I was unmarried, had little education or job skills. It was from that low point that I got the support I needed to allow me to work my way out. I earned my GED, AA in Journalism, BA in Communications, a Master’s Degree in Communication and a Doctorate in Educational Leadership. For the past 30 years I have worked with educators, justice professionals, health care providers, social service agencies and other organizations seeking to make a difference for those living in poverty.
Join me in changing how we understand those in poverty and together let's create a world where everyone has the access to their true potential.
