This week on Black v. Board of Education, we sit down with Mrs. Karen Dugas — educator, entrepreneur, and founder of Above the Limit, LLC and the Beyond the Bus Foundation. With over 20 years in education, Mrs. Dugas has helped students turn their academic potential into scholarship dollars, making college more affordable — and often, debt-free.

We talk about the power of financial literacy, what it really means to prepare students for post-secondary success, and how families can build generational wealth through informed decision-making. From tutoring to “Money Talks,” Mrs. Dugas is changing the narrative around what it means to be college and money ready.
