Kandasi Griffiths (Class of 2024) had a goal to see the world. And after living in 17 places on 4 continents, she is certainly on her way! After college, she taught English in Paris, organized conferences in the UK, and learned jewelry making in Italy, before pivoting to international development. She worked in Afghanistan, Jordan, Tanzania, Guinea, Benin, and Togo, learning about global health and seeing how she could best contribute to community development. Kandasi then founded a social enterprise called SR Collaborative (srcollaborative.com), focused on supporting women of color change agents and their ventures. She came to Fuqua to pivot to impact investing, which she will pursue at Social Finance after graduation.
In this episode, Kandasi shares her fascinating stories and the lessons she's learned, about the world and about herself.
