From Freedom Writer to Entrepreneur Educator
As one of the original students from Classroom 203 with Erin Gruwell, I learned firsthand the transformative power of education, hope, and second chances.
The Freedom Writers story—documented in the New York Times bestseller"The Freedom Writers Diary" and the 2007 film starring Hilary Swank— taught me that your past doesn't define your future. Now, I bring that same message of transformation to entrepreneurs around the world.
