Danielle Webb: From Homelessness to Leading Change in Rural North Carolina

Just because you're experiencing homelessness doesn't suddenly mean that your taste changed, right?
Imagine facing homelessness and then rising to become the executive director of a non-profit organization. That's exactly what Danielle Webb did. In this episode of 'Persons with Lived Experience', Danielle opens up about her journey from the streets to leading Displaced Roses, an advocacy group helping those in need in Gaston County, North Carolina. Danielle's story is a rollercoaster of challenges, including being disqualified for services and facing gun violence. But she didn't let these hurdles stop her.
Instead, she combined her healthcare background and deep faith to make a real difference in her community. She talks about how her son's traumatic experiences pushed her to create change and support others facing similar struggles. This episode is filled with heartfelt moments and valuable insights on the power of resilience, community, and compassion. Danielle also shares how small acts of kindness, like a simple sandwich, can bring joy and dignity during tough times.
Tune in to hear how faith, healthcare, and community building can come together to drive positive change.
