Ep.40-Patzetta Trice: Own Your Dreams

Patzetta Trice recounts a childhood fueled by the leadership and sage advice her father shared with his daughters to include the values of "Faith, Family and Community". Living these values became her personal mission informing the professional and civic outcomes that led to the receipt of local, national and global awards. She shares her personal perspective on "success" as being that of "what she could help facilitate for other"s as she climbed the corporate ladder at GM; often "embraced", but acknowledging those marked instances of gender and racial bias. Never one to quit, she prevailed, and in the end, leveraged her top corporate positions to provide funding to notable local efforts to raise up the youth, in general, and girls and women, in particular. She shares her greatest triumph as being asked by three successive governors, representing both major political parties, to serve as co-chair of the Indiana Commission for Women, where she came in touch with girls and women in both urban and rural communities and was able to help frame and push-out state administrative and legislative initiatives to increase and improve public policies to the benefit of women and girls across 92 counties.
