Author, business coach, motivational speaker and philanthropist Clarissa Joi is my guest for episode 73 of the Verbally Effective Podcast. With roots in White Haven, Clarissa decided to attend Christian Brothers University as an IT major. Upon graduation, she entered the corporate world in her field. As you can imagine Clarissa has been the only woman let alone black woman in quite a few boardrooms. Her desire to change this statistic shines bright throughout her entrepreneur academy “Elite Winner’s Circle” and her philanthropic efforts with “Rise Up Single Mom, Inc.” Two of the main takeaways from this podcast for myself is the importance of time management and walking in your purpose. Take a listen to hear Clarissa’s journey in addition to quite a few current events blazing the headlines.
