info_outlineIn this profoundly inspiring episode, we are honored to host Angela Outlaw-Matheny, whose gripping story unfolds like an odyssey through America's most demanding landscapes. From her early life in East New York, Brooklyn, a setting far from the plush corridors of Wall Street, Angela nurtured her irrepressible spirit in the face of systemic challenges and personal setbacks. Despite the hurdles she encountered in her education, culminating in a high school diploma dated months after her peers had graduated, Angela's resilience led her to take matters into her own hands.
Typing Her Way into Opportunity: Angela's Unique Skill Set
After completing a trade course at Taylor Business Institute, she entered corporate America equipped with typing skills so polished she could clock 100 words a minute. Her challenges were far from over, though; despite acing every test, the doors of Wall Street remained closed to her, emblematic of the systemic barriers that disproportionately affect people of color. Undeterred, Angela crafted a niche for herself in the competitive realm of law, hitting the six-figure mark at age 25, without even a college degree to her name.
Rooted in Culture: The Pulse Beneath the Numbers
While her financial prowess is noteworthy, Angela's multifaceted persona resonates on a much deeper level. A devout lover of hip-hop and dance, she takes us down memory lane to George Gershwin Junior High and teaches us the importance of never marginalizing our passions. Her voracious appetite for knowledge didn't stop at trade school; it eventually led her to Baruch College and even through the complexities of the global economic crisis of 2008, enhancing her already broad skill set.
Building a Lasting Legacy: More Than Just Financial Wealth
Angela's notion of legacy extends far beyond mere financial success. As she discusses the necessity of formal education for her son and navigates her role as a mentor, her guiding philosophy emerges: legacy is not just about wealth but also about the immeasurable value of kindness and goodwill. In her words, "You can't get into heaven holding a grudge."
Angela Outlaw-Matheny is not just a story of breaking barriers; she is a saga of resilience, a case study in ambition, and a testament to the unquantifiable merits of a generous spirit. Join us for an episode that is an extraordinary confluence of wisdom, grit, and sheer humanity, setting a new benchmark for what success can look like when defined on one's own terms. Prepare to be deeply moved, invigorated, and enlightened.
