About this listen
In this deeply inspiring conversation, Mia Rose opens up about her journey from hardship to higher education, a path marked by resilience, self-discovery, and unshakable determination. Growing up with parents battling addiction and a father who was incarcerated, Mia faced challenges that could have easily derailed her future. While at Spelman College, she navigated the tension between the “haves” and “have-nots,” even relying on Dollar Tree shopping trips to make ends meet.Mia shares how she made intentional choices about the woman she wanted to become, leaned on her “radical imagination” to see a life beyond her circumstances, and pushed through moments when giving up seemed easier. Her story is a testament to perseverance, self-belief, and the power of envisioning a better future.Listeners will walk away not just inspired, but reminded that where you start doesn’t define where you can go, your vision and determination do.
