S3E3 - Books, Bills, and Big Dreams

What does it take to rewrite your story, chase your dreams and inspire the next generation–all while balancing motherhood and college? Meet Ruta Ghebrewold, an artist, student and mom who is showing her daughters what’s possible when they set goals and work towards reaching them. 

In this episode, Ruta shares her journey from Eritrea to Oakland, her dreams of opening an art gallery, how she invests in herself with direct cash support, and how direct cash can make education more accessible for all.
