Welcome to this empowering episode of The Raquel Show, where I had the delightful opportunity to chat with Amanda Owen, a beacon of inspiration who has seamlessly transitioned from being a special education teacher to a nonprofit founder and advocate for people with disabilities. Amanda shared her poignant story of starting Puzzle Pieces, a nonprofit organization that supports individuals with disabilities, fueled by her personal experiences and a drive to make substantial changes in the community.
In our conversation, Amanda delved into the challenges and triumphs of establishing and expanding her nonprofit, which now boasts a staff of over 100 dedicated individuals serving more than 400 clients. She highlighted the significant moments and decisions that shaped her journey, from the initial 100-page business plan to securing a pivotal grant that set everything in motion. Amanda's story is a profound testament to the power of passion, persistence, and believing in one’s mission against all odds.
