Lisa Charlene Williams, CEO of Smart Hustle Agency & Publishing, confirmed that they have officially launched a search for CEOs, entrepreneurs, celebrities, or professionals who were formerly in foster care to be featured in the upcoming book From Foster Care to CEO: Stories of Inspiration and Why You Should Always Follow Your Dreams. This book will feature Chimene Van Gundy and other successful CEOs formerly in foster care.
Chimene Van Gundy, a former foster care youth and the CEO of Queen of Mobile Homes, has been chosen as lead author of this new book featuring successful CEOs, celebrities, entrepreneurs, and professionals.
The number of children in foster care is growing rapidly due to the opioid drug epidemic. Foster care youth are aging out, with nowhere to go, and over 80% of those incarcerated were formerly in foster care. From Foster Care to CEO aims to share stories from successful CEOs who were formerly in foster care to encourage foster care youth and young adults to continue to follow their dreams and never give up.
