We are excited to announce Overstepping Poverty Podcast Special Guest of the week! Maleah Grigsby! Maleah is the founder of the Smart City Women's Congress, an organization that empowers women and fosters connections among younger women while educating them about their cities. Their mission is to identify real concerns of their generation and work towards achievable solutions!

Maleah has achieved remarkable things in a relatively short period of time. She credits her strong work ethic and determination to both of her parents, but finds love in the works that she does from her father! But, both have been great role models for her. Whether she is working as a life coach, influencing others, or creating innovative projects, Maleah is a true pillar of the community. She brings her passion from Kansas City, Missouri to Sioux Falls, and we are excited to welcome her energy.

As a Sociology and Communications major at Augustana University, Maleah has taken on various leadership roles, cultivated relationships and fostered friendships. In this episode, she will not only motivate and inspire you, but also provide a unique perspective on the young talent and entrepreneurial mindset she brings to our community. Join us as we delve into Maleah's journey and learn from her unique experiences.
